I happened to ask a Saint,
"Why does it happen that the person who always does kindness to others, helps them, is often hurt by them?".
The reply was simple,
"Do you think the river, which flows from the top of a mountain flows, because it wants someone to be kind in the middle to whom it is offering its water, its the Sea, that will be kind to it and quench its thousands of miles long journey. It is that if you have been kind to someone, maybe he might not but someone else may return the favor to you at appropriate time, its like your Savings Bank Account."
Then I happened to ask,
"Why do I often end up in troubles, when I have not given any trouble to anyone in lyfe?"
The saint smiled,
"Child, you are acting as if you are the doer and you are the judicial, who knows the act which you say is helping someone, might be actually a sin in the eyes of the Almighty. You can not and must not judge yourself, you have come to just act. Do your best and leave the rest to God."
कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचना,
I smiled and said, Thanks, Got it Sir, Thanks a lot...
I realised, this Geeta verse has been read by me several times in my text books of Sanskrit, still I am figuring out, Whats Lyfe and Why me....

मा कर्म फलहेतुर भुर्मतेय संगोस्त्वाकर्मणि ॥
