Maharaj tells a very funny story about a pickpocket. Through this funny story, he stressed on the point that “If one doesn’t bring Vedic traditions in one’s life then naturally there will be some other traditions that will creep in.” The pickpocket always went to temples because many devotees are gathering there, and as soon as these devotees were bowing down: Dwarkadish, Dwarkadish, Dwarkadish, and were involved in their worship, he robbed their necklaces and wallets. So within a short period of time he became rich and was wondering what to do next. He decided to get married and settle down. He started looking for a pickpocket woman. Finally he found one and they decided to do business together. In few months they were loaded with riches and they were wondering what to do now. They thought, “Why not have a baby”, and they prayed to Krsna that this child should become the biggest pick-pocket ever, and maintain their tradition. After a year the baby was born, but to their surprise the child was born with one hand closed. The parents were very much disturbed: how he can pickpocket now!? Next they went to the best doctor in India, but even he couldn’t open his hand; the baby held it so very tight. Then the doctor said them to go to a psychiatrist, because he sure will know some trick how to open the hand. While arriving at the psychiatrist he told them that: You are a pickpocket, your wife is also a pickpocket, so I am sure that the child must have the same tradition. I will tell you what to do: you prepare a very nice necklace which has rubies, diamonds and other valuable stones, and as soon as the child will see it, he will open his hand to grab it. This instruction was followed by the parents, and soon they prepared a most beautiful ornament. They brought it before the eyes of the child and immediately his hand went open to snatch the necklace. When he did that, they were surprised to see a ring falling from the hands of the child. It was the ring of the nurse who delivered the child!
