GOD’S LAW

This is the story of a shopkeeper who sold ghee (clarified butter). At first, he was a small retail seller. Over time, his business expanded until he became a wholesale ghee trader. He had an accountant, called Munim Ji, who had been working for him from the very beginning.

Munim Ji’s lunch would come from his home every day. His son would bring the meal in a tiffin carrier that was unusually large. People joked with Munim Ji, saying he was eating alone but ordering enough food for ten people every day. This routine went on for years.

One day, after lunch, his son was walking back with the tiffin carrier when he tripped and fell on the shop’s stairs. The tiffin carrier also fell, and all the containers spilled open. It was revealed that all the containers were filled with ghee.

The shopkeeper saw what was happening and immediately understood why Munim Ji had been carrying such a large tiffin. He then took Munim Ji into the storage room. The shopkeeper said, “You see how many containers are filled here in my warehouse. You have been with me from the start. You also know that 15 years ago, when I began this business, I had very little capital. I used to bring just one container of ghee and sell small amounts. Gradually, my business grew, and today, I am one of the city’s leading wholesale dealers. Now compare your situation to mine. For years, you’ve been taking ghee in your tiffin daily, yet your condition remains the same as it was before. During that time, God has greatly elevated my status. Now you can see for yourself who is truly benefiting—the one being exploited or the one doing the exploiting.

The Creator of this world has designed it so that only those who earn their living through honest means will thrive. Those who engage in illegitimate earnings will ultimately suffer downfall and ruin.
