Really Touching
A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many Months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his
father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As
Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had
purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father
called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to
have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his
son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the
young man opened the box and found a lovely, "Gutka of Japji Saheb".

Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money
you give me a "Gutka of Japji Saheb"?" and stormed out of the house,
leaving the holy book. Many years passed and the young man was very
successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but
realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.
He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make
arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed
away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home
immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's
house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his
father's important papers and saw the still new "Gutka of Japji Saheb",
just as he had left it years ago.

With tears, he opened the "Japji Saheb" and began to turn the pages.
As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind
the "Japji Saheb". It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer
who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his
graduation, and the words...PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss
WAHEGURU'S blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
