The so-called secured future

The so-called secured future

A wealthy man approached an old monk to share his pain. The old monk asked him, "gentleman, how can I help you?"

The wealthy man said, "I am unhappy and restless" The old monk asked him, "Are you restless because you are unhappy or are you unhappy because you are restless?"

The wealthy man was confused and said, "I am not sure."

The old monk said Let me rephrase my question, what is disturbing you?

The wealthy man said, "I have too many properties to manage, but I don't have time to manage all of them" The old monk said, " When you live in one body, why do you require too many houses?

The wealthy man said, "I have invested my hard-earned money on the properties to secure my future."

The old monk smiled & said, "You will have properties, but not future" Anything you possess more than what you need will only burden you and will not secure you. You are unhappy and restless not because of your inability to manage the properties, it because of not letting go, what is not needed.

The wealthy man acknowledged and left the monastery

When Jaby was present, dullness was absent. He filled the hall with his sense of humour, and his thoughts were deep-rooted in bringing the best out of every human. Jaby was the most admired person in any forum; when Jaby picked the mic, the audience pulled themselves to the edge of the chair. Jaby was casual in his appearance, but he was a thorough professional everywhere. During COVID, if there was one person whom I counted on to help people, it was Jaby; his car was filled with masks, sanitizer and an oxygen concentrator. His social bent of mind made him a good Samaritan. Jaby was a curious child, whenever we both met, he was curious to improve his skills and knowledge, and his quest for development was limitless. Jaby and I collaborated in the year ...
