Richness of Life

Aum Sairam

A Tax Auditor came many years ago to a poor servant of God to determine the amount of taxes he would have to pay.

What property do you possess? List all your possessions, please the auditor instructed.

The poor servant of God replied

First - I have everlasting life.
Second - I have a mansion in heaven.
Third - I have peace that passes understanding.
Fourth - I have joy unspeakable.
Fifth - I have divine love that never fails.
Sixth - I have a faithful wife.
Seventh - I have healthy, happy, obedient children.
Eighth - I have true, loyal friends.
Ninth - I have songs in the night.
Tenth - I have crown of life.
Eleventh - I have a Savior, Lord Sri Sainath, who supplies all my needs.

The Tax Auditor closed his book and said, truly you are a very rich man, but your property is not subject to taxation!
