A Saint and his disciple had a sharp difference of opinion over the relevance of money in life. While the master described it as the root cause of all ills the disciple did not out rightly rule out its relevance. Once they were travelling for Hardwar by train. The TTE came and asked for ticket. Are bhai kaisi ticket aur hum sadhu logon ka dhan se kya prayojan?the Saint said. The TTE, an elderly man near retirement, didnt want to earn the holyman, s displeasure and walked away calmly. During return journey they had to deal with a young TTE , a sports quota recruitee. The detachment plea of the Saint failed to touch the official who threatened handing them to railway police if they didnt pay for ticket and penalty. Now the disciple fished out some money hidden in the socks and extricated themselves from the embarrassing situation. Now you understand the value of money, Master? , he said. Still your eyes have not opened, beta? Dont you see we remained in trouble as long as you kept money with you and were freed only when you parted with it? Now who is right-the Saint or the disciple?
