Do a good deed
A wise and successful man bought a beautiful house with a huge orchard. But not all were happy for him. An envious man lived in an old house next to him. He constantly tried to make his fellow neighbour’s stay in the beautiful house as miserable as possible. He also threw garbage under the neighbour’s gate as well as did numerous other nasty things.
One fine day the wise man woke up in a good mood and went out onto the porch to notice buckets of garbage thrown there. The man then took a broom and bucket and cleaned his porch without a word of complaint. He later carried another bucket and went to knock on his envious neighbour’s door. The envious neighbour heard a knock at his door and gleefully thought, “I finally got him!”. He answered his door ready to quarrel with his successful neighbour. However the wiseman gave him a bucket of freshly picked apples saying, “The one who is rich in something, shares it with others.”
Moral: If you repay evil with evil, there is no difference between you and the person who has done evil to you. If you choose to repay evil with good deeds, then you become part of the Divine.
