Stories About Kalpavriksha

There was a traveler who reached to some mystical place by mistake.
He came to rest under what Sufis called the Kalpavriksha, a wish fulfilling tree.
After his tiring journey, He was not aware that he was sitting under this Kalpavriksha tree; he was just there in the shade of the tree.
                                                   His eyes opened and he felt hungry.Just the thought came to his mind that it would be good if he could get something to eat and immediately, to his great surprise, plates full of delicious food came floating in the air and rested before him.

He became a little afraid, but he was so hungry that he ate to his heart's content.
After finishing his meal he started to feel that this place where he was seemed to be dangerous. He wondered, "Are there ghosts around here?" and immediately ghosts were standing all around him.

He said, "Now, I'm finished" and instantly all the ghosts jumped on his chest and started to strangle him & beat on him.
He then thought, "Now, they are going to kill me." - and they killed him.

The tree was a Kalpavriksha, a wish-fulfilling tree. Sitting under it, anything you desire will immediately be fulfilled. As you are, so full of desires. If you were to sit under the Kalpavriksha the same thing would happen to you. Just because you have now heard this story, don't think that you will do something different; it will make no difference. You will do the same thing because your desires are not under your control
