Lalach Buri Bala Hai
Lalach Se Jo Mila, Wo Sab Kho Gaya – Lalach Buri Bala Hai 
Ek chhota sa gaon tha jahan Rumi naam ka aik larka rehta tha. Rumi masoom bhi tha aur thoda sa shaitaan bhi, lekin uski ek buri aadat thi — lalach. Usse hamesha zyada chahiye hota tha, chahe khilona ho ya mithai.
Ek din Rumi jungle mein ghoom raha tha jab usse ek chamakti hui purani potli mili. Usne potli kholi to andar chhoti chhoti golden candies thi. Potli ke sath ek parchhi bhi thi jisme likha tha:
“Jitna tumhare haq ka hai, utna hi lo. Lalach karoge to sab kho doge.”
Rumi ne socha, “Bas thodi si aur le loon, zyada khaoonga to zyada maza aayega!”
Woh jitni candies utha sakta tha, utha kar bhaag gaya.
Lekin jaise hi usne pehli candy mooh mein rakhi, wo soney ki candy patthar jaise sakht ho gayi. Rumi ne ghabra kar doosri koshish ki — wo bhi patthar ban chuki thi. Thodi dair mein poori potli hi pathar ban gyi.
Rumi hairan reh gaya. Usne parchhi phir padha aur samjha:
“Jis cheez mein lalach shamil ho, uska nateeja hamesha nuksan hota hai.”
Wo udaas ho kar ghar laut aaya. Usne apni maa ko sab kuch bataya.
Maa muskurayi aur boli:
“Beta, kam mein bhi barkat hoti hai, magar lalach mein sirf nuksan.”
Us din ke baad Rumi ne apni aadat badal li. Ab wo hamesha imandari se apna haq leta, aur jo uske paas hota usi mein khush rehta.
Kahani Ka Sabak:
Lalach buri bala hai. Zyada ki hamesha zaroorat nahi hoti, kabhi kabhi kam cheez hi zindagi ko zyada sukoon de deti hai.
