The Story of three Men & who has everything. Something & nothing.

On a bright Sunday morning all three Men were walking in hills which is incredibly beautiful landscape. A fresh air is spreading all over the land. They were walked a good miles & then decided to have a break & sit in the corner.

The 1^st man sat in the corner, while 2^nd man came & joined 1^st man while they were about to start a conversation, they saw the 3^rd man & both man waived at him, 3^rd man hesitate at the point but both 1^st & 2^nd man welcomed the 3^rd man.

After a settling down for the few moments, all three men greeted each other & start their introduction.

1^st Man: Hello gentlemen My Name is Oliver, I am duke of this county.

2^nd Man: Great To meet u Sir, I Am Orlando, I am a baker My Self & Running Small Bakery on 5^th Street.

3^rd Man: Hello, Gentlemen Myself  Peter & I am just A garner of the rich family.

After Formal introduction between them, they have started to talk to know each other.

Oliver: (started to talk about himself): as I told you earlier I am duke of this county  & I let myself out for a fresh air & some time for myself without my servants, caravan, & my family.

Orlando: sir why you came here by yourself to just a walking around?

Oliver: yes  u are right I am ruling this county from last 30 years, I have a vast mansion, A loving wife, I  am  proud father of two sons, Garry & Holmes,  but for a quite long time I am not satisfied with my all wealth, name.

Orlando: why is that sir? You have everything in the world, a  every other man Dreamed of it.

Oliver: you are right Orlando, but for a few years I am feeling alone by myself, no one is actually care about me, my sons are very eager to take my position & want a control of the whole county. My wife wants me to leave this place & settle down in a small village, my servants are more loyal to my sons, they have thinking that this old man’s days are over, and now my existence is in danger. I don’t know whether my family needs me or not?

I think I am beat up in my own game. I was self centered at a young age, I didn’t pay attention to m my family, I didn’t teach my sons a family values & now I had  pay  the price, I have everything I had Dreamed of but I am  alone by myself.

 Orlando:  Sir I may not able to comment on that, but I live a happy life with my wife, she is very lovely, caring & share a hand in the business, every day we wake up early in the morning baking a fresh bread, cookies & cakes, We sell  in our bakery, till evening sundown, sometimes this business is killing us, we couldn’t talk with each other for a week but we have each other’s back every time,

We have a younger 7 year old girl named Sarah who is star of our eyes, sometimes she joins in the bakery & we all work together. We earn not that much but it is enough for all three of us & we are very happy about that.

We don’t have everything in the world but a fraction of something that we are proud of it.

Oliver:  You are a good person & I bless you, but reminding u that Don’t waste your time just like I had wasted to gain what is not mine now.

Orlando: yes Sir you have seen more Charismas then me, I have taken your Advice.

Oliver & Orlando: Peter now just shows some chapters of your book. We are here to hear your side.

Peter: Morning Gentlemen I am from a very poor family of farm workers, I was born on a  corn field,  My parents were working on a farm, we lived in a barn with horses, a one day our farm & land was gone to the duke like you are, they were building  a  railroad, I didn’t had a choice so I left my home, I did lot of jobs to survive, a ironsmith, a construction worker, a manual labor, a caravan driver, &  many more. I work every day early morning  taking care of my garden.

I haven’t a wealth like a duke or a home like baker but I am sleeping everyday without worrying the next day, because my needs are less than a common man. I have nothing in my life & still I am happy.

Oliver & Orlando Just Sat in Silence & couldn’t Comment more.

Who is the lucky man from all of three,  I live to my readers to decide.

A spiritual investment (Eastern Philosophy)

This journey has started in 2012, when I was moved out of my home, friends, for a better career, in to the Mumbai

Initially it was a quite rough & hectic to survive in Mumbai suburbs, but after a few months the city that never sleeps had excepted me without any conditions,

Yet I was still struggling for adjustment in to a new culture, it was no easy to adept a new surrounding near yourself, when your language & culture is different, but it was passing with the time,

One evening I was wondering how people had survived this organised chaos of surviving,

But then I saw & heard something that really touch my heart,

It was a Ganesha chaturthi when people bring Lord Ganesha home, & for couple of days worshiped him & welcoming his arrival & asking for his blessing,

A couple & much younger child had carried a Idol of Lord Ganesha in their small cart, although it was raining that day but they don't care about any thing

They was keep saying,

गणपती बाप्पा मोरया

मंगलमूर्ति मोरया,

I don't understand how the people has devoted themselves to a god or idol in a very unexceptional way,

I am an engineer i was not quite a good at temple going ritual i except the god as a entity, the almighty who runs the whole world,

But a after a few years lived in a western life style mantra " work ,Earn, Enjoy" it was too much at a point, i was felling empty, neglected & so much heavy around myself,  i was kind of trapped inside me, & this was going on for a quite long time,

Till that day my friend came in the morning & asked me if I can join him to pay a visit to a local temple of lord Ganesha called as "The Siddhi vinayak"

I went to the temple & spent almost a hour that day, after that I was felling a little different, but peacefully inside, energetic, blessed, a words can't describe that feeling, that's what I called a spiritual investment,

After that I am going regularly once a week to ask blessing of my lord, & now days it became  & part of my life,

That is a part of our culture, we see things differently, not rationally as western,

Before this i was not participating in any from of puja or ritual in any way near around me,

But now I see things differently & without any hesitation i can cheer for my lord ,

This is a my transformation from a west inspired rationally thinking person to a spiritual thinker,
