From Grain To Mountain

the whole mountain today.” But this thinking is a serious mistake. The one who moves forward step by step will eventually reach the mountain. But the one who insists on catching the whole mountain at once will never get anywhere, even if they spend their whole life trying. There’s a story about two brothers. One wanted to become rich overnight. He would pray, “Oh God, give me a quarter of 56 crores!” He spent years doing spiritual exercises and magic, trying to capture jinns or discover treasure. But nothing ever happened. Then he turned to gambling and lotteries. He spent years filling out prize forms and buying tickets. But fortune never smiled. In the end, he died with his dreams unfulfilled. The other brother took a different path. He learned calligraphy, worked for newspapers and magazines, and later joined a printing press. He worked hard, bought a small hand press, and gradually expanded his business. Today, he runs a successful printing press. His entire family works with him, and they live a respectable and stable life. One brother tried to grab the mountain all at once—and failed. The other moved grain by grain—and succeeded.
