In a bustling city lived a very wealthy man named Mr. Somnath. He owned vast estates and many luxury items. One morning, he made a shocking announcement that gathered a large crowd of citizens and reporters.
"This coming Monday, I will be burying my brand-new luxury car and a chest full of gold coins in my final resting place," he declared.
People were stunned. They whispered among themselves, wondering if he had lost his mind. An old man stepped forward and asked, "Why would you waste such immense wealth by burying it in the earth?"
Somnath replied calmly, "Since I cannot take these things with me when I pass away, they might as well stay with me underground."
News of his 'madness' spread quickly. Journalists rushed to document the event, and many people came just to mock his decision. When the day arrived, a large crowd gathered at the ceremony.
Standing before them, Somnath asked, "Does it hurt your heart to see such expensive possessions being buried and lost forever?"
"Yes, it is a terrible waste!" the crowd shouted in unison.
Somnath then looked at them with a gentle smile and asked, "Then tell me, why do you not feel the same sadness when a person's eyes, heart, or kidneys are buried with them? Those organs could save lives and give someone a second chance at life. Are they not more precious than all this gold?"
An intense silence fell over the crowd. They realized that while gold and cars are mere objects that stay in the ground, organ donation is a gift that brings life to others. The crowd, which had come to mock him, now stood in respect, realizing that Somnath was not a fool, but a wise man teaching a life-changing lesson.
Moral
Organ donation is far more valuable than any material wealth.
