There was a breakfast point near our college campus. We often used to go there for breakfast & there was a lot of rush.

Many times I had noticed that a person came and took advantage of the crowd & after eating, secretly leaves without paying. One day while he was eating, I secretly informed the owner of the breakfast point that this person would take advantage of the rush and leave without paying the bill.

Listening to me, the owner of the breakfast point started smiling and said to let him go without saying anything to him .. & that we will talk about it later.

As usual, this person , after having breakfast, looked around and taking advantage of the crowd quietly slipped away. After he left, I now asked the owner of the breakfast point to tell me why he had let the man go .. why did he ignore this man's action ???

The answer given by the owner of the breakfast point lit up all my senses & I still remember this after many years. (I visited this place 3 years back again - Totally changed )

He told me that you are not alone, many others have noted him and have told me about him. He said that this person sat in front of the shop and when he saw that it is crowded, he would sneak in and eat. I always ignored it and never stopped him .. never caught him nor ever tried to disrespect him.

Because I think that the rush in my shop is due to the prayer of this person ....He would be sitting in front of my shop , praying that if there is a rush in this shop then he could quickly go in, eat & leave.....And surely enough there is always a rush when he comes in & his prayers are powerful.

I do not want to invite my misfortune by cutting my own leg in the matter of this prayer and acceptance of his prayer between him and Almighty .......This will always be ignored by me and I will always let him eat food & will never disrespect him by catching him!!!

Prayers make everything possible & who knows we are flourishing in our life due to Prayers of many known/unknown ones around us.

Keep giving back to Universe in your own unique ways!!!
