For some reason I am reminded me of a story which is very beautiful but incredibly sad.
It was said that when Jesus Christ was born three scientists wise men or gyanis visited him to pay respects to that new born child because in their scientific language of their times it was said that this baby is going to be the next biggest thing
But apparently there was fourth wise man too.All four of them were supposed to visit this baby.But the fourth man got delayed because he was stuck helping someone on the way.
So the three proceeded without him.Fourth man lost his way and kept searching for this next big thing for years. There were many hits and misses between this fourth man and the next big thing.
But nevertheless he didn't give up his search while searching for this man he used all his education wisdom knowledge and wealth for the betterment of people he came across.
Finally someone told him that the next big thing he was looking for is nearby. So he ran to that place and there he came across this next big thing when this next big thing was nailed to a cross and the cross was erected upon a hill were every one could see.
By the time he reached there that man just died on that cross. The fourth man was very saddened that he nevre got to see this man when this man alive and walking. He spent his entire life looking for this man a chance to interact with him and pay his respects to this man but never got an opportunity. He didn't have a gift also when he finally met him because all the precious jewelry gems he brought as a gift to that baby he spent it on helping others who are needy.
Then one voice told him from the skies that the next big thing he he was searching for came to him so many times but was never ever turned away by him. When he was hungry he gave him food when he needed shelter he provided when he was sad he comforted him when he was ill he took care of him. The next big thing himself was so happy that he met a man like fourth man.
