In Mahavideh kshetra, there lived a woodcutter named Naysar. His work was to go into the jungle, cut wood and bring it back. One day, he took his men with him to cut wood in the jungle. He sat down in one place while his workers were cutting wood. Soon it was afternoon. At lunch time one of the workers came and said to Naysar, “Lunch is ready, please come and eat sir.”
Naysar was a man of good moral character. He had taken a vow to eat only after he had served food to a guest. So, he climbed onto the embankment of a nearby lake and started to inquire if any guest would come with him. Fortunately, Naysar's vow to eat only after having served a guest seemed to get fulfilled. 

A group of pious monks were walking from one village to another on a road at the edge of the jungle. One of the monks in the group, who had been fasting for a month, fell behind. He forgot the way and set off on the wrong path into the jungle. In the afternoon, the monk reached the spot where Naysar’s men were working. Upon seeing the monk who was in penance, Naysar felt joy greater than the joy of finding treasures of precious gems. Joyfully, he approached the monk, bowed down respectfully, and requested him to accept some alms of food.

Naysar offered food to the monk in penance with utmost respect, due honour and a pure intent. After the monk had finished eating, Naysar ate the food. Once Naysar finished eating, he went along with the monk to show him the way to the village. While they were walking the monk had a thought, “This man has shown me the way out of this never ending jungle. I will show him the way out of the never ending cycle of worldly life and help him to realize his soul.” With these thoughts, the monk gave Naysar the woodcutter, the understanding about Dev (celestial beings), Guru (spiritual teacher) and Dharma (religion) and the knowledge of the soul.

In this way, Naysar the woodcutter received spiritual wealth from the monk. He spent the rest of his life following the teachings of the monk sincerely and with pure intentions until he breathed his last. In his next life, he was reborn as a Dev in Devlok (celestial world).

See friends, what great results were achieved by simply donating food with pure intentions! Naysar got the knowledge of Self-realization which would ultimately take him to moksh (liberation), and he would also enjoy the life and splendor of a Dev in Devlok.
