Taking Care in the Right Spirit....

A man in his mid forties was an active man.... He was doing well in his job and had a good family life.... He was further managing his finances reasonably good and was active in his investments.... He was ready for any amount of exertion both physical and mental as he had a strong conviction that serving the people involved and working hard in his profession were the best ways of living in the world as then he would be the man of real freedom.... No doubt, he was correct! But there was a problem that was simmering for quite some time for which he could never find a right answer.... His problem was….

• His boss always pointed him out, often thrust more work at him and thus was never satisfied.... 
• His family, often expected him to be giving out and doing more.... 
• His friends and relatives expected him to be more careful and thoughtful in all investments as he was not in pace with his contemporaries.... 

Thus, he was sad….

During this time, once he happened to meet one of his close friends who was a man of certain clarity and who understood life in the right spirit.... Naturally, in the discussions the man came out voluntarily with his problem and further, at the insistence of his friend explained the same in detail…. The friend heard all of that, smiled at him and said, “Dear!  A simple issue which you could have resolved long back and thus could have been at peace all these days, you really missed all these days….” The man looked at his friend unable to understand what he was speaking....

The friend continued….

“Look my dear! You have a life….True life in front…. And you have to live that at Base Level at all costs! That is what Mother Nature expects you to do and that is your bounden duty....  Please live for yourself first at that Base Level, not for anyone else…. Then only for others as per your duty and thus you can really help them.... Further, while discharging your duties, please forever remember that....

• You can do only one work at a time.... 
• You are not working to satisfy the whims and fancies of people with whom you are interacting..... 
• In certain intervals of all your bounden duties, your own take care and relaxation ride over any priority people are talking of....  
• Where, all of you have to share something during discharge of your bounden duties, you are neither less nor a written off personality!” 

While leaving, the friend smiled and quipped, “But, while doing all this, never ascertain your right verbally at anytime as that is not at all required; instead simply live through it, that’s all!”

The man at last found a Right Solution to his Perennial Problem!
