The Good You Do Comes Back To You

THE EVIL YOU DO REMAINS WITH YOU,
THE GOOD YOU DO, COMES BACK TO YOU.
A woman baked chapati for members of her family and
an extra one for a hungry passerby.
She kept the extra chapati on the window sill, for
whosoever would take it away.
Everyday, a hunchback cums and took away the chapati.
Instead of expressing gratitude,
he muttered the following words
as he went his way:
"The evil you do remains with you:
The good you do, comes back to you!"
This went on, day after day.
Everyday, the hunchback came,
picked up the chapati and uttered the words:
"The evil you do, remains with you:
The good you do, comes back to you!"
The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude,"
she said to herself...
"Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle!
What does he mean?"
One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him.
"I shall get rid of this hunchback," she said.
And what did she do?
She added poison to the chapatti as
she prepared for him!
As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled.
"What is this I am doing?" she said. Immediately,
she threw the chapati into the fire, prepared another one
and kept it on the window sill.
As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapati
and muttered the words:
"The evil you do, remains with you:
The good you do, comes back to you!"
The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware
of the war raging in the mind of the woman.
Everyday, as the woman placed the chapati on the window sill,
she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place
to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.....
She prayed for his safe return. That same evening, there was a knock on
the door.
As she opened it, she was surprised
to find her son standing in the doorway.
He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn.
He was hungry, starved and weak.
As he saw his mother, he said,
"Mom, it's a miracle I'm here.
While I was but a few miles away,
I was so famished that I collapsed.
I would have died, but
just then an old hunchback passed by.
I begged of him for a morsel of food,
and he was kind enough
to give me a whole chapati.
As he gave it to me, he said,
"This is what I eat everyday:
today,
I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!" "
As the mother heard those words,
her face turned pale.
She leaned against the door for support.
She remembered the poisoned chapati that
she had made that morning.
Had she not burnt it in the fire,
it would have been
eaten by her own son,
and he would have lost his life!
It was then that she realized
the significance of the words:
"The evil you do remains with you:
The good you do, comes back to you!"
Do good and Don't ever stop doing good,
even if it?s not appreciated at that time
Hope you remember a saying in urdu which says NEKI KAR DARYA MEIN DAL

If you are expecting some favours in return of the good deed you have done, your deed ceases to be a deed then, it's business then. Do you call a food merchant your 'annadata'? No, because he doesn't donate, he sells. So don't sell your 'neki'.
