Yamraj asked the dacoits to serve Sadhu
A sadhu and a robber came to Yamalok. The dacoit asked for the punishment by Yamraj and the Param Sundaram's pleasures Yamraj punished the dacoit for serving Sadhu. Sadhu did not get ready Yama said to the sadhu- Your tenacity is still incomplete.
After death, a monk and a robber came together in the court of Yamraj. Yamraj looked at his booklets and said to both, if you both want to say something about yourself then you can say it. The robber said in very modest words - Maharaj! I have committed sins throughout my life.
I am a big criminal. So the penalties you decide for me, I will accept. After the silence of the robber, the monk said - Maharaj! I have a lifetime penance and devotion. I have never walked the path of untruth. I have always performed good deeds, so please, arrange for me the comforts of heaven.
Yamraj heard both of them and told the robbers - you are punished that you should serve this monk from today. The robber bent his head and accepted the command. Hearing this command of Yamraj, the monk objected, 'Maharaj!' With the touch of this sinner I will become impure. My penance and devotion will be virtuous.
Yama Raj heard angry and said that the person who loses and murders innocent and innocent people has become so humble that you are ready to serve and you are one that you have remained arrogant even after the penance of the years, and did not know that Everyone has the same self-realization. Your austerity is incomplete. So from today you serve this robber.
The message of the story is that the same penance is rewarded, which can be done without any hesitation. Indeed, renunciation of ego is the fundamental principle of penance and it becomes the basis of God's achievement in the future.
