A construction supervisor from the 16th floor of a building was calling a worker on the ground floor. Because of the noise, the worker did not hear him. To draw his attention, the supervisor threw 1 Rs. 10 note in front of the worker. The worker picked up the note and , put it in his pocket and continued working. Again to catch his eyes, the supervisor threw down a Rs 500 note. Again the same thing was repeated. The supervisor was peeved. He picked up a small stone and threw it down on the worker. The stone hit the worker.
This time the worker looked up and the supervisor was finally able to talk to him. This story is the same as our life. God from up there wants to communicate with us, but we are too busy doing our worldly jobs. Then he gives us small and big gifts. We go ahead and keep them without looking up or thinking about how we got them. We say we are lucky. And then we are hit with a small stone, a metaphor for the problems that we finally encounter in life, we think of looking up and communicating with him. That’s why it is said, He gives and forgives and we get and forget.
