When my son was young I used to read this story aloud to him during bedtime. He’d always come running with the book saying I want to hear the candle story. I’ve lost the book, but the story of hope remains in mind and I’ve edited and re told the original version by memory. Forgive me for not remembering the original author either. Hope it brings you peace if you’ve been struggling with something .

Two brothers involved in litigation appeared before a Magistrate. One of them was a millionaire, the other a pauper. The Magistrate asked the millionaire how it was that he became so rich and his brother so poor. He said: “Five years ago we inherited equal property from our parents. Fifty thousand dollars fell to his share and fifty thousand dollars to me. This man, regarding himself as wealthy, became lazy, and whatever work was to be done he entrusted to his servants. If he received a letter, he would give it to his servants and say, ‘Go, attend to this business.’ Anything that was to be accomplished he told his servants to do. He lolled away his time in ease and comfort. ‘Eat, drink, and be merry.’ He would always bid his servants, ‘.’Go, go; attend to this business or that.”
Speaking of himself the rich man said: “When I got my fifty thousand dollars, I never committed my work to anybody; when anything was to be none, I would always run to do it myself and I always told the servants, ‘Come, come, follow me.’
The words on my lips were always ‘Come, come,’ and the words on the lips of my brother were ‘Go, go.’ Everything he possessed obeyed his motto; his servants, friends, property or wealth went away, entirely left him. My maxim was ‘ Come’; friends come to me, property increased, everything multiplied.
When we depend upon others, we say, “Go. go”. Everything will go away, and when we rely upon Self and trust nothing but the Universe , all things flock to us.

Once a young man was passing by a street where he saw an old man begging for money. The old man was sitting with an empty bowl kept in front of him with a sign that said “Blind. Please help!” The young man noticed that despite the rush hour nobody was giving the blind man any money. He walked upto the old man, took out a black marker from his pocket and scribbled something on the back of the cardboard, flipped it and kept it in front of the old man and went off to his place of work. In a few minutes the bowl began to fill up with money. Curious and surprised the old man asked a lady to read out what was written on the cardboard. “It’s a beautiful day. You can see it. I cannot” Author Unknown

Once upon a time a group of owls came to settle in a forest which had many lush green trees, full of fruits, flowers and insects. All the owls were free to choose whichever tree they liked. The young owls raced to occupy the young, green trees, eager to make their nests there. While an old owl who couldn’t fly as fast as the others was forced to make his home in a withered, dried up old tree. As time went by, the young owls grew proud and boastful of their homes. They teased the old owl for his shriveled up tree and pointed out how lucky they were. “Our nests are nicer than yours” they mocked the old bird and competed with one another constantly. The old owl was wise. He learnt to watch their antics and endured their jibes silently and only replied “it’s too soon to say who’s the lucky one” One day a group of woodcutters came and surveyed the forest. “Let’s chop the young, green trees” and took out their chainsaws and chopped and chopped until the old oak tree was left. “This one is a waste of time, let’s leave it” The young owls screeched and lamented their loss. While the old owl smiled and offered the branches to the young owls to live in. Author Unknown

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.” So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl! When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.
The four-year-old watched it all in silence.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.
The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.
That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his day, he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

An empress with no children decided to hold a competition to determine who would succeed her when she died. She summoned all the children in the city to her palace and gave each one a seed. “Plant this seed, care for it, and in one year bring back the flower that grows from it. Whoever brings me the most beautiful flower will be the next empress.”
One young girl planted her seed in a pot and watered it every day, but nothing grew. At the end of the year she was devastated, but on the day set for inspection of the flowers she picked up her pot and carried it to the palace.
All the other children brought colorful, vibrant flowers, but the empress only glanced at them. She walked straight to the young girl and smiled. “All the seeds I gave you had been boiled and were dead. Only you were honest enough to bring back the original seed I gave you. You will be a just and wise empress.” – Author Unknown.

One Sufi mystic was so full of love, and so full of joy – his whole life was laughter, music, dancing. And the story says God became very interested in him because he never asked anything, he never prayed. His whole life was a prayer, there was no need to pray.
“I have watched you and I have loved you. This is the way: you have become the prayer. You are, right now, my only argument in the world that something more than man exists – although you have never argued, you have not even uttered my name. Those are superfluous things… but you live, you love, you are so full of joy that there is no need for any language; your very presence becomes the argument for my existence. I want to give you a blessing. You can ask for anything.” The sage said, “But I don’t need anything. I am so joyous, and I cannot conceive there can be anything more. Forgive me, I cannot ask because I really don’t need anything. You are generous, you are loving, you are compassionate; but l am so over-full, there is no space within me for anthing God said, “I had thought that you would not ask, so don’t ask for yourself – but you can ask for others, because there are millions of people who are miserable, sick, have never known anything for which they can be grateful. can give you powers to do miracles, and you can change the lives of all these people.” The sage said, “If you are insistent, then with a condition I can accept your gifts.” God said, “With a condition? You really are strange. What is the condition?” He said, “My condition is that I should not become aware of what is happening through me, by you. It should happen behind my back;
it should happen through my shadow, not through me. I may be passing and my shadow may fall on a dead tree, and the tree may become alive again – again lush green, again heavy with flowers and fruits – but I should not know it.
“If you can accept my condition, and remember that should not know at all. because I am so full of joy, so blissful. Don’t drag me back into the miserable world. Don’t drag me back to become again an ‘I.’ And it is said that God said to him, “You are not only strange, you are unique and rare. And this will be so: you will never know what things are happening around you. Miracles will be happening around you – wherever you will go, miracles will happen. Neither those people will know that you have done those miracles, nor you will know that you have done those miracles. I will remember the condition.” Osho

Once a saint was going home to home asking for alms. He knocked on a door and called out, “Bhiksham Dehi (Give me alms).” A little girl came out of house and sadly said, “Baba, we are poor, we have nothing to give you.” Saint smiled and said, “Do not refuse daughter. If you don’t have anything else, you can give me some mud from your house courtyard.” Girl picked up a handful of mud and put it in saint’s alms-pot.
There was a disciple who was accompanying saint. He saw all this and asked saint, “Guru ji, We could have go to another house for alms. Why did you ask her to give you mud in alms?” Saint replied, “Son, if she had said no today, she would never have been able to give again. Today, you know what happened when when she gave mud? She will learn to give. Today, mud has been given, if spirit of giving has awakened in her. If it becomes strong, she will give fruits and flowers in future.’ Ancient Hindu texts stress the importance of giving donations on Makar Sankranti a day that marks the end of the bitter cold, when the sun transits to Capricorn heralding good tidings, harvest and prosperity. The wise sages also stressed to get young children to so that the Spirit of Giving is Inculcated in them from a young age.
