Ssssb Students Avinash and Pranav, and the Power of Practicing Values

Story 2002: Ssssb Students Avinash, Pranav, and the Power of Practicing Values

Avinash and Pranav, both former SSSSB students of the same age living in Nepal, came from different backgrounds.
Avinash came from a humble family and received his education in affordable schools in a neighborhood with limited financial resources. Pranav, on the other hand, came from an affluent family and attended expensive, modern schools in an upscale neighborhood.

After their studies, they both applied for the same job with a 6-month probation period at the same company. Avinash commuted to work by bicycle, while Pranav used a car.

Avinash was well-liked by his colleagues due to his friendly, grateful, and helpful nature. He paid attention to his behavior and constantly strived for character-improvement. Pranav, in contrast, only enjoyed a few days of friendliness from his colleagues before they quickly noticed his unfriendliness and lack of helpfulness. He showed no interest in self-reflection and improvement, as he considered himself superior.

After the 6-month probation, Avinash was rewarded with a permanent job, promotion, and a salary increase. Pranav, however, was not retained.

Avinash felt grateful and, as a former Ssssb student, first expressed his thanks to Bhagwan Baba, followed by his parents and Soul Blossom gurus. Pranav, on the other hand, was embittered and placed blame on others, including Bhagwan Baba, his parents, and his Soul Blossom gurus.
