HH Shri Nathji
(1902-1992) Founder of the World Prayer Day, often narrated this story:
"When Alexander
the Great was on his death-bed he expressed a very strange desire to his family
and courtiers gathered inside his chambers.
'When you take out my
funeral procession through the streets of the city then cover my entire body
with a white sheet, but let my hands remain uncovered and hanging on either
side of my body.
"I want the
people of the world to look upon my hands and to see that the hands of
Alexander the Great that sought to possess the entire wealth of the world, are
today going away empty!"
So if Alexander the
Great could not take anything with him when he left the world, then who amongst
us will!
People who hanker
after the wealth of the world must surely keep this in mind.
