A Jat purchased an old, run-down; abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields were grown over with weeds, the farmhouse was falling apart, and the fences were broken down.
During his first day of work, a Brahman stops by to bless the man's work, saying, "May you and Bhagwan(god) work together to make this the farm of your dreams!"
A few months later, the Brahman stops by again to call on the Jat. Low and behold, it's a completely different place. The farmhouse is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there is plenty of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows.
"Amazing!" the Pandit says. "Look what Bhagwan(God) and you have accomplished together!"
"Yes, reverend," says the Jat, "but remember what the farm was like when God was working it alone!"
