After the priest closed the doors for the day, the stone at the entrance of the temple cried and told the iodol:
"We lived together for many centuries as part of the big stone in the nearby hill. We both were carved out by the same sculptor. He made me into a stone block at the entrance to the temple and you into the Iodol. Today everybody 'kicks' me before entering the temple and prays to you. What sin did I do to be kicked and what virtue did you possess to be worshiped like this?"
To this the iodol replied, "You are right, my brother ! But when the sculpture was hitting you with his chisel and hammer to carve you out to your best, you were crying and pleaded to be saved of all that pain."
The iodol continued, "And I stood all the pain and suffering silently, only to be shaped into what I am today. Do you realise now that it pays to take the suffering too !"
Wish that all those who bore the suffering at the recent market fluctuations may soon be rewarded too !
