Conversation between Son & Mother

Jai Shri Ram

An extremely rich and powerful person - Chief Minister to an Emperor- decided to repay all the debts to this world. He had enough money and powers. He went on calling his friends, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, teachers, ... And kept on giving them whatever they wanted and took a word from them - "You are debt free from my side" !! Finally, he went to his mother :

Son: Mother ! Kindly forgive my request. I am capable, rich and powerful. I want to repay all debts to everyone and want to have a feeling that: 'I am debt free' ! Please tell me what can I offer you ! Kindly !! What is the value I can pay for your debts on me !!!

Mother smiled. She said:

Son ! I don't want to narrate you what I did for you after I gave birth to you. You are valuation expert. I narrate to you an incidence before your birth. You yourself value that, pay me what is correct value of that as per you, and you shall be 'debt free' from my side too !!

Mom then stated:

When I conceived you, I was very anxious about your future- Hence I went to an astrolger. He saw the stars etc and stated that the child will be a son to be born on say so and so date. But on that day there will be strong movements in nakshtras. If he takes birth after 7 AM but before 8 AM he shall become a great and rich trader. If he takes birth after 8:00 AM but before 8:30 AM , he shall become the next best- Chief Minister- to the Emperor. If he takes birth after 8:30 AM - he shall become the Emperor of this country !

But Son, as the luck would have it, I started feeling labour pains at 6 AM on the day of your birth. I was hell bent on seeing you to become an Emperor. Though the 'daai' ( lady doctor) thought I shall die, but I forced her to tie me and make me hang with legs up and head down to a ceiling hook. She kept on saying 'It is dangerous, you can die' but I kept on insisting to keep me hanging till 8:30 AM. I wanted you to become the Emperor. But I fainted due to sheer pain at 8:00 AM. She untied me and you were born at 8:15 AM !!

Son ! I leave the valuation of that pain, that agony that I sufferred during those 2 hours for you to become Emperor. Now decide and offer me that value.
Son fell at the feet of his mother saying: I can not repay you, Mom, I can never repay you !!
