✍🏻The servant was very obedient. The master became happy and increased his salary by five thousand. There was no change in his obedience, but he was not very grateful either. The master got very angry that "I increased his salary, but he did not even thank me properly." The next month, he reduced the salary by five thousand. The servant's obedience remained the same even now; he made no complaint. The master sent for him and said, "You are a very strange person. I increased your salary by five thousand, then reduced it. You remained exactly the same. What is all this?" The servant said, "Oh! Did you consider yourself the Sustainer (Provider of sustenance)? When a son was born to me, the very next day you increased my salary by five thousand. I understood that the Creator who gave the child also arranged for its sustenance alongside it, so I thanked Him. Then, on the day my mother passed away, you reduced my salary on that very day. I knew that she took her sustenance along with her, so even then I thanked Allah and remained content." 🖋️Then he said, "Sir, these decisions of livelihood (rozi-roti) are made somewhere else. We are just pawns who are moved back and forth to create the means."
