A priest dies and is waiting in line at the Heavens. Ahead of him is a guy
who's dressed in khakhi dress and is a ferocious looking Jat. Yamraj
addresses this guy, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to
admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
The guy replies, "I'm Om Prakash, a bus driver with DTC" Yamraj
consults his list. He smiles and says to the bus driver, "Take this
silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
The driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff, and it's the priest's
turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am Lakshmi Narain Shastri,
Head-Priest of Birla Mandir for the last forty-three years."
Yamraj consults his list. He says to the priest, "Take this cotton robe
and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a bus driver
and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. How can this be?"
"Up here, we work by results," says Yamraj. "While you
preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."
