When Jesus Christ was met by ten lepers, who shouted "Jesus, make us well." Jesus said "Go & show yourselves to the priests." This had to be done before they were allowed to go back among other people. The men set off, & as they were going, they saw that their terrible sores had disappeared. Their leprosy was cured.One of the men went back to Jesus to thank him. He bowed low & shouted out his praises to God. "But where are the other nine?" asked Jesus. "Didn't I make ten men well?" The nine, like many other people, had forgotten to thank God for his goodness to them.
In living memory, Sri Satya Sai Baba, has set up free education from KG to PG & Super Specialty Hospitals free of cost, so that poor people, who otherwise could not afford access to education & healthcare, have benefitted in thousands in addition to miraculous healing by Himself for many. But all the media & people are interested in is the presumed wealth found after his passing away & "magic tricks" (as his Divine Powers like Jesus Christ) are termed.Ms. Sudha Murthy, the well-known philanthropist also recounts the attitude of a prosperous doctor, whose medical education was financed by her foundation. When she had to consult him unexpectedly in an emergency, though he recognised her, he charged her double for turning up without a prior appointment!
Sadly human nature has not changed for the better in 2000 years!
