Valmiki was a theif who piled his trade in northern India many a century ago. After a string of unsuccessful robberies, he was getting so desperate that he actually tried robbing a Sadhu, a Hindu holy man. Now Sadhus own absolutely nothing but the cloth they have wrapped around their private parts. " I don't have anything to give you", the holy man said.
" Give me something or I'll kill you!" Valmiki cried in desperation.
" Okay, Okay, how about this? I'll give you a mantra that will make you the richest man in the world. But it will only work if you repeat it constantly, day in and day out".
Valmiki knew that Sadhus don't lie. Because they've devoted their lives to God, they would rather die than tell an untruth. So he trusted the Sadhu completely. " What's the mantra?"
" Mara", the holy man answered.
