DIVINE MAGNANIMOUS AND SPIRITUAL BENEVOLENCE INDEED !
>A man fell into a well and did not drown as the well was not full of water.He cried out for help, A passer-by came to help him. He was a Buddhist monk. The monk instead of helping him,advised,"Buddha's last sermon was,we should be a light into ourselves;since you are not,you have fallen.If i save you,the darkness in you will make you fall again into the well;so create light within and that light will help you to come out."Thus he went away without helping.
>A little later,a Hindu monk passed-by,heard the cry for help.He gave a sermon ,"it is because of your karma-past deeds-you have fallen.Even if i help you.your karma will make you fall again.Do a noble act and earn good karma.Good deeds will help you come out."He walked away without helping.
>A disciple of Confucius saw the man in distress. He assured him,"i will definitely help,but i will go and tell the village authorities how important is the teaching of Confucius .Confucius always taught society is more important than individual. Meanwhile you go on screaming; so that you set a precedent for others not to fall.Then the village authorities will ensure every well is covered properly."He too went away.
>A Christian father happened to come next. He immediately helped the man out of the well. Then he made a request,"any time you fell into a well,please call only me and no one else.Not only you should fall but also ask others to fall. I will definitely come and help;thus doing good service to you all,i can go to heaven."
*Classical example of selfish religion with ulterior motives !
