This is such a story that I do not know whether it is a true incident or a fantasy, whenever I read it, a belief always remains, I am sharing the same story.
Based on the true story of a brave man who trusts in nature, nature never lets him down. Trust in God by Meherban Khan Kandhala. Must read story.
Trust in God:
Vaidyaji's house was in an old building. Lived in the back part and had opened a dispensary in the next part. His wife had a habit that before opening the dispensary, she used to give the essential items for that day in a letter. Sitting on the throne, Vaidyaji would first take the name of God and then he would open the letter. The things that the wife would have written, they would have seen their expressions, then they would have calculated them. Then pray to God that Oh God! Leaving devotion to you only according to your order, I am sitting here in the affair of worldliness. Vaidyaji never used to ask for fees from any patient. Some used to give, some did not give, but one thing was sure that as soon as the money to buy the essential things of that day was over, then he would not take medicine money from anyone, no matter how rich the patient was.
One day Vaidyaji opened the dispensary. Sitting on the throne and remembering God, opened the letter containing the necessary items to calculate the money, then he kept staring at the letter. Once his mind wandered. He saw stars twinkling before his eyes but soon he got control of his nerves. After flour-dal-rice etc., the wife had written, "The daughter's marriage is on the 20th, her dowry items." Kept thinking for a while, then after writing the price of other things, wrote in front of the dowry, "This work is of God, God knows."
One or two patients had come. Vaidyaji was giving him medicine. Meanwhile, a big car stopped in front of his dispensary. Vaidyaji did not pay any special attention because many car owners used to come to him. Both the patients went away with the medicine. That suit-booted sir got out of the car and sat on the bench saying Namaste. Vaidyaji said that if you want to take medicine for yourself, then come here on the stool so that I can see your pulse and if you want to take medicine for a patient, then describe the condition of the disease.
He started saying, "Vaidyaji! You didn't recognize me. My name is Krishnalal, but how can you even recognize me? Because I have come to your dispensary after 15-16 years. Let me tell you the condition of my last meeting, then you will know everything. The matter will be remembered. When I came here for the first time, I did not come on my own, but God brought me to you because God was kind to me and wanted to settle my house. It so happened that I was going to my native place by car. Our car got punctured right in front of your dispensary. The driver took off the wheel of the car and went to get the puncture done. You saw that I was standing near the car in summer, then you came to me and pointed towards the dispensary and asked to come here and sit on the chair. Whatever the blind man wants, he has two eyes and sits on the chair. The driver had taken too long.
A little girl was also standing here by your table and was saying over and over again, “Come on Baba, I am hungry. You were telling her that daughter, have some patience, let's go. Thinking that I was sitting near you for so long and because of me you were not even going to eat food. I should buy some medicine so that you don't feel the weight of my sitting. I said Vaidyaji, I have been doing business in England for the last 5-6 years. I was married before going to England but till now am deprived of the happiness of child. Got treated here and there in England too but fate gave nothing but disappointment.
You said, "My brother! Do not despair of God. Remember that there is no dearth of anything in His treasury. Hope-children, wealth-respect, happiness-sorrow, life-death everything is in His hands. It is not in the hands of any physician or doctor, nor is it in any medicine. Whatever has to happen happens by the order of the Lord. If you want to give a child, then he has to give it. I remember you were talking and at the same time you were making pudiya. You divided all the medicines into two parts and put them in two different envelopes and then after asking me, you told me how to use the medicine by writing my name on one envelope and my wife's name on the other.
I reluctantly took that medicine then because I just wanted to give some money to you. But when I asked for the money after taking the medicine, you said it's okay. I insisted, so you said today's account is closed. I said I did not understand your point. In the meantime, another person came there, after listening to our discussion, he told me that the closure of the account means that God has given Vaidyaji the amount he had asked God for today's household expenses. They cannot take more money.
I was somewhat surprised and somewhat ashamed at how low my thoughts were and how great this simple minded doctor was. When I went home and showed the medicine to my wife and told the whole thing, it came out of her mouth that he is not a human, he is a deity and the medicine given by him will be the reason for fulfilling our wishes. Today two flowers are in bloom in my house. We both husband and wife keep praying for you all the time. For so many years, the business did not give me time to come and say two words of thanks to you. Today I have come to India after so many years and the car has stopped only here.
Vaidyaji, our whole family is settled in England. Only one of my widowed sisters lives in India with her daughter. Our niece's marriage is to be held on 21st of this month. Don't know why whenever I used to buy something for my niece's rice, that little daughter of yours used to come in front of my eyes and I used to buy every item twice. I knew your thoughts that maybe you should not take that stuff but I used to think that the face I am seeing again and again with my real niece is also my niece. I used to think that God has given me the responsibility of filling rice in this niece's marriage too.
Vaidyaji's eyes widened with surprise and said in a very low voice, "Krishnalal ji, I do not understand what you are saying, what is this illusion of God." You see this letter written in my wife's hand." And Vaidyaji opened the letter and handed it over to Krishnalal ji. Everyone present there was surprised to see that it was written in front of the "dowry items" that "This work is done by God. God knows whose it is.
Vaidyaji said in a trembling voice, "Believe me, Krishnalal ji, till date it has never happened that a wife has written a requirement on a letter and God has not arranged for it on the same day. After listening to your words, it seems that God knows what my wife is going to write on which day, otherwise God would not have made you start buying things so many days ago. Wow god wow! You are great, you are kind. I wonder how he shows his colors."
Vaidyaji further said, he has taken care, he has read only one lesson: thank God in the morning, thank him for having a good day in the evening, thank him while eating, thank him while sleeping.
