Old Man and the Muddy Water – An Inspiring Story

​Once an old man was traveling with a few of his companions.
While they were passing a lake, Old man told one of his companion,

“I am thirsty. 

Do get me some water from the lake.”
The companion walked up to the lake.
At that moment, 

a bullock cart started crossing through the lake.

As a result, 

The water became very muddy and turbid.
The companion thought, 

“How can I give this muddy water to Old man to drink?”
So he came back and told Old man, 

“The water in there is very muddy. 

I don’t think it is fit to drink.”
After about half an hour, again Old man asked the same companion to go back to the lake.
The companion went back, 

and found that the water was still muddy.
He returned and informed Old man about the same.
After sometime, 

again Old man asked the same companion to go back.
This time, the companion found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear.
So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Old man.
Old man looked at the water, and then he looked up at the companion and said, 

“See what you did to make the water clean. 

You let it be, 

and the mud settled down on its own, 

and you have clear water.”

Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, 

just let it be. 

Give it a little time. 

It will settle down on its own.

You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down.

It will happen. 

It is effortless.”
Having ‘Peace of Mind’ is not a strenuous job, 
it is an effortless process👌so keep your mind cool and have a great life ahead…
Never leave Your close ones.

If you find few faults in them just close Your eyes

‘And Remembr the best time You spent together…
because 
Affection is More Important than Perfection..!
Neither you can hug yourself….

nor you can cry on your own shoulder….
Life is all about living for one another, 

so live with those who love you the most…
Relations cannot be Understood by the Language of Money…

Because,

Some Investments Never Give Profit

But They Make us rich…!
“Family and Friends are such investments”
