Humble Man - Lal Bahadur Shastri

 

Lal Bahadur Shastri

He had not told his mother that he was a railway minister.

Was told that "I work in railway".

He once came to an event organised by Railway where his mother also came, asking that my son is also here, he is also in the railway.

People asked what is the name ?? When she told the name, everyone was shocked, "She is lying".

But she said, "No he has come".

People took her in front of Lal Bahadur Shastriji and asked, "Is this is your son?

So the mother said "yes he is my son."

People showed the minister, "Is she your mother?"

Then Shastri ji called his mother and sat with her and after some time sent her home.

So the reporters asked "Why didn't you give a speech in front of her".

So he said -

My mother does not know that I am a minister. If she comes to know, she will start recommending people and I will not be able to refuse… and she will also have arrogance.

Everyone was shocked to hear the answer."

 Source : Theismaili On 13 December 2024, Ismailis around the world will celebrate Mawlana Hazar Imam’s 88th birthday — an occasion to reflect on the unique spiritual bond that links each  murid  to the Imam-of-the-Time. Throughout history, Ismaili Muslims have been led by a living, hereditary Imam-of-the-Time descended from the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) through his cousin and son-in-law, Hazrat Ali, and his daughter, Hazrat Bibi Fatima. On 13 December 2024, the global Jamat will celebrate the 88th birthday of our present living Imam, His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan.
