A rich relative of a very humble man had hidden a lot of treasure under the earth in his farm. After a while he died. However, this humble man knew about the hidden treasure. The rich man's son was a miser. So this humble man decided to do something so that this hidden wealth did not go to the miser. One day at midnight he took five kilos of grams, one ' Shivlinga', water and pickaxe and went to the spot where the wealth was hidden. Then very close to that place, he dug two feet deep, put the grams into that pit, poured water and finally he put the Shivlinga in the remaining space and covered the pit with soil. The next evening, a great miracle happened in the rich man's field. People saw the 'Shivlinga' coming out of the soil and thronged that place to have Darshan. The rich man's son was a pious person though a miser. After some days, when people decided to build a temple on that place the miser son donated that piece of land. While digging for foundation of the temple people found a countless bounty. They believed it as lord Shiva's blessing and built a beautiful temple using that treasure. The treasure was also used for social welfare. They even built a water tank, rest house and a place for distribution of free food. All this became possible only because of a small scientific trick done by that humble man. Otherwise this wealth would have gone waste or misused.Moral: Social welfare acitivities are possible only if the wealth is in proper hands.
