Wisdom of Alexander the Great

😍Dear Friends😍
🌹Happy Morning🌹
🌻Sharing an interesting Historical incident🌻

😍Title: Wisdom of Alexander the Great😍
💙Alexander the Great was the son of King Phillip, king of Greece
He wanted to bring all the countries under his rule.
He was a military genius.
He fought with many kings and acquired their kingdoms.💙
💛When he came to India, to acquire small kingdoms,
Porus, the King of Purus resisted him. So Alexander became his friend.💛
💜Alexander the Great could not realise his dreams because
his armed men wanted to return back to their motherland.💜
💛On his way back home, he fell ill. Many doctors attended him.
They could not help him to survive.💛
💚On his death bed, Alexander summoned his generals and
told them his three of his wishes:💚
🌻1. The best doctors should carry his coffin;🌻
🌹2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones)
should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery, and🌹
🍀3. His hands should be let loose, hanging outside the coffin for all to see.🍀
💜One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests
asked Alexander to explain. 💜
😍The king said the following:😍
🌻1. I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that,
in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal.🌻
🌹2. I want the road to be covered with my treasure
so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth.🌹
🍀3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand
that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty
handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is TIME..🍀
💛He died before reaching his home, in Babylon.💛
😍Moral: Man proposes God disposes.
We have to bow our head to God’s Will😍
💕Kind Regards💕
