Rest is Peace

How many of you are working for money? for success?

Last year I was on my vacation in India, by chance I met my old friend pachus mother who is a friend of my mother , she was very happy to know that I am a trainer and educating people,

Son can you do a favor, do you remember my son pachu your old friend in school.

yes, amma where he is working now?

She started crying, son this is the favor what I want from you, he is not working please advise him.

I was surprised to hear that. Hmm … there are lazy people in India also.

Amma don’t worry I will give him a training; I will bring him on the right path.

The next day I went to pachus Home. He was lying on the sofa with the Tv remote. Hi pachu how are you I greeted him and went near him and sat and switched off the Tv.

Did he change his face? Any way he smiled; I am sure that he is happy to see me after long time.

I shot my first Bow, Pachu where are you working?

I am not working.

I gave a lecture to him about the importance of work, having a vision, climbing the ladder, and moving up in life. He listened to me patiently I am sure that my speech and advices will bring him on the right path, I made him relished, after all I am a toastmaster.

After hearing all he asked me back. What are you doing? I told about my life, my career, my savings , my vision, the girl who married me, the status of my job, the children’s education ?everything. And exclaimed about the busy life.

Then he asked me another question. Why you are working?

What a foolish question, you are asking Pachu Working to earn to protect my self and my family, and to make my self reach the world.

Pachu asked me the third question. Ok after that what?

After earning I can sit relax, there will be no worries, Life will be enjoyable, Beautiful, great.

Raju this is what I am doing now. Sitting relaxing and enjoying the beautiful life.

Pachu this is not the life there is more of it, get out of the well and see the ocean in front of you.

Dear Raju what life? Do you know when you will get a heart attack?

What? heart attack?

Raju in the newspaper daily we can see hundreds of people dying many of them are young, same of your age of various reasons, some by accident some by heart attack one day it will come to you also. If you are dying what will happen to your vision, status, money. Will you carry it with you?

By saying this he switched on the TV. Coincident or not the news coming on Tv young talented violinist died in an accident. He pointed his finger and started laughing Bahahaha.??

He was rich he was having status, now see where he is enjoying his life? He is gone … Bahahaha.

I slowly moved away from him, saying bye I left, on my way I saw Pachus Mother. Son do you gave your training he changed right.?

Amma sorry he is a better trainer than me, It will be better if you show him to a Physiatrist.

I came back to gulf after my leave, after 2 months when I called my amma she told , raju do you remember pachu your old friend. Yes amma I have seen him last time also, did he started working?

No dear he passed away yesterday of cancer, He suppressed the pain for the family, I was shocked. recollected the words from him enjoy your life.

Dear all let me ask you the last question how many of you are working for peace?
