As I always said my grandfather played a big role in my success full life, he used to teach me many lessons that I can’t learn from anywhere else in the world. When I was kid my Grand Father taught me a lesson that I can remember for my life time.
This time I want to share it with you.
He gave me two big bags and told me to reach at a particular point and I will need to collect some material in these bags that he spread on my way.
Then he told me I have to keep one bag on my back and one in my hands.
He continued “The bag that I will carry on my back if I want I can throw some of the collected material of that bag out from bag as long as I am not making it empty but I cannot throw anything out from the bag that will be in front of me in my hand”.
He continued “I can open and see the bag that is in my hand and I can enjoy what is inside this bag but I should not open and should not see the content of bag on my back.”
Once he explained me all the rules he took me to starting point of this wisdom learning journey. I saw there were many flowers of different kind on way and many pebble, bricks block and big stones too.
Now he told me I have to collect these flowers and pebble and stones in these bags. In one bag I had to collect all kind flowers and in another one I had to collect all kind of pebbles and stones. I had liberty for not to choose something.
Here he asked me to choose which bag I want to put in front of me and which in back. I chosen wisely and took flower bag in front of me and pebbles and stones bag on my back. I collected almost every flower other than few very big size flowers because of bag size and I collected very less amount of pebble and stones and thrown few of them when I felt pebble bag getting heavy.
If I felt any problem I opened my flower bag saw them enjoyed smell of fresh flowers.
I reached to my destination my grandfather congratulated me for choosing bags place wisely and expanded the game.
Now he told me I have to do reverse. I had to change the location of bags, I had to collect only bigger flowers and I had to collect all small and bigger pebbles and stones that come in my way. This time I had to keep my pebbles bag in front of me and flowers bag on my back.
I started collecting all the pebbles and hunted for bigger flowers but after completing a very short distance it was impossible for me walk anymore because pebble bag was so heavy and till this time I found only one big flower in my bag on back.
Now he started explaining things to me
He said “these small flowers denote smaller happiness and bigger flowers denote reason of bigger happiness at the same time small pebbles and stones denote problems around us and brick blocks denote jealousy and similar kind of feelings. “
He continues “If we keep bag of problems and jealousy kind of feeling in front of us we will not be able to walk longer, it will get so heavy to walk and we will not be able to complete our journey and you will have no happiness as we hunted for bigger reason of happiness
Now if we choose location of bags wisely we can collect each happiness weather it’s small or bigger and we can throw our pain, sorry and jealousy kind of feeling if it start getting heavy and it will make our life heaven.”
When he finished I asked him “If Pebbles and stones denote pain and sorrow why to collect them?”
My grandfather answered me “If we only get happiness we will never enjoy it with full joy because pain and sorry teach importance of the joy and happiness”.
In Conclusion he said “it’s us who decide what we should keep and what we should throw, what we should watch again and again and what we should watch rarely, what we should enjoy and what we should not and this wise decision make our life hell or haven.”
In end he putted his hand on my head and said “Always carry both the bag but in front you should keep bag of flower only and try to collect every flower that you can collect”.
