Musical Organ

In a very ancient family, there was a musical organ, but people had completely forgotten how to play it. Generations passed by and people even forgot that it was a musical organ. Dust began to cover it.

It was a very big organ and it was taking up much space. One day the family decided to throw this nonsense.

They said, ‘This is just a nuisance. Why should we keep it?’ They took it out; they threw it on the road.

They had just reached home when a beggar started playing upon the organ.

Time stopped. They simply turned. The whole traffic stopped, people came rushing from their houses; they forgot everything. For one hour the beggar was playing on it.

It was so beautiful, so enchanting — they were just hypnotised. And when the music ended the family demanded their organ back.

The beggar said, ‘It is not yours, because you've thrown it, now it doesn't belong to you!’

Indeed, life is one of the oldest musical organs given by the God, but people have forgotten what it really is and how to play it.
