An incident of Rockefeller from the United States . 

Today, in the United States there is the Rockefeller Foundation.  This charity 
is working all over the United States.  How did this come about?  Rockefeller 
was fabulously rich -- very, very rich.  He had no time to think of anything 
other than making money.  He reached the stage where he forgot the amount of 
money he had because he was so busy. 
 
But Rockefeller fell sick at the age of about 48.  And the doctors said, Look 
here, you are not going to survive for more than eight or ten months.  You are 
not going to live much longer.
 
Who said this?  His doctors in the United States spoke this.  Doctors in the 
U.S. are very, very responsible, to the best of my knowledge, because they will 
be sued in the courts of law if anything goes wrong.  Then they would have to 
pay money throughout their lifetime, oh yes -- so they have to be very 
responsible. 
 
So those doctors said," You won't live very long". 
 

So Rockefeller started distributing his money to everybody. Educational 
institutions, medical institutions and many others all over the United States, 
with the result that he lived for almost 90 years.  A person, who should have 
left this planet earth 40 years earlier, got an extension of his life.  How is 
that possible?  Because of his sacrifice.
 
What is required today is for our hearts, which are hard like stone, to melt. 
Even stones wither and become ordinary sand with continuous exposure to rain 
and heat.  Similarly, our hearts of stone should melt, seeing people's misery, 
so we will be prepared to sacrifice. Baba
