At night, he heard the two voices again:
Destiny: "Action, you should not have let the merchant provide food to the weaver. He has forced himself as an unwanted guest!"
Action: "Destiny, the weaver needed to be provided for the night, and the merchant did so in his miserly ways, but you may decide the outcome!"
Next morning, he went into another merchant's house, where he was warmly welcomed. He was provided with new clothes and water to bathe. He was then served a lavish dinner, and a comfortable bed to sleep in. During his stay, he realized that the second merchant was not rich.
At night, he heard the two voices again:
Destiny: "Action, you should not have let the merchant provide entertain the weaver so extravagantly. He has forced himself as an unwanted guest!"
Action: "Destiny, the weaver needed to be provided for the night, and the merchant did so in his generous ways, but you may decide the outcome!"
Next morning, the weaver watched the king's servants bring money for the second merchant. Destiny had rewarded him for his good deeds.
The weaver thought, "The second merchant is not rich, but he leads a life which is better than the first merchant, who is very rich"
On his way homewards, the voice from heaven asked, "How do you want your money to be?"
The weaver at once said, "Please give me only the money that I will be able to enjoy to the fullest like the second merchant."
His wish was granted, and Somilaka returned home with some money that made his wife happy. They lived happily, and were content with whatever they earned.
The wise indeed say:
Action and destiny are two sides of a coin. Work with all your might but leave it to destiny. And stay happy and content.
