So the people worked and worked, stacking stone upon stone. Every year, they gave up their games, their stories, even their time with family - just to build the tower taller. “If we finish it,” they whispered, “the rain will surely come.”
But the sky stayed silent.
Years passed. The tower pierced the clouds, but the rivers ran dry. The children had never seen rain. Some asked, “Why don’t we dance, sing, or plant gardens anymore?” But the elders hushed them. “Rain comes only to those who sacrifice.”
Then, a curious child named Bhavani wandered beyond the tower and found something magical - a tiny spring bubbling in a forgotten valley. She drank, laughed, and brought others. Flowers bloomed. Joy returned.
The king finally came and wept. “We climbed so high, hoping to reach the rain... but we forgot to listen to the earth.”
And so, the people returned to the valley. The tower still stood, but now it reminded them: hope isn’t built by fear - it grows where love, play, and truth are free to flow.
Moral :
Don’t build your life on fear or endless “shoulds.” Listen to your heart, connect with others, and you’ll find your “river” too.
- Unnecessary cost → The tower consumes life’s joys - games, stories, family time - much like how exploitative credit systems or rigid dogmas drain people’s vitality and agency.
Examine your own “spiritual transactions.” Are you buying safety or loving truth & searching for it?
Address structures (access to fair credit) and QUESTION fear doctrines
or Popular beliefs that add unnecessary cost.
