The secret of happiness

A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for 40 days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived.

Rather than finding a saintly man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesmen came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world. The wise man conversed with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn to be given the man’s attention.

The wise man listened attentively to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.

“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something”, said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill”.

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was.

“Well”, asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?”

The boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

“Then go back and observe the marvels of my world”, said the wise man. “You cannot trust a man if you don’t know his house”.

Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him, the beauty of the flowers, and the taste with which everything had been selected. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in detail everything he had seen.

“But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.

“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you”, said the wisest of wise men. “The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon”.

There's a similar story about Narad Muni, read it 30-40 years ago. It was about Narad asking Vishnu "Who is your greatest Bhakt ?"
I had also read that one....do not remember now. There are many stories on net which, i know is regional story, some grows good and is translated ,shared,renamed,modified ,changed ownership buts the only way it can be told and survive thru generations. Many stories used in worlds bestseller books are simmilar stories.

happy trading.
thanks

Satisfied and Happy life

A Crow was absolutely satisfied in life.

But one day he saw a swan…
This swan is so white and I am so black…crow thought.

This swan must be the happiest bird in the world.

He expressed his thoughts to the swan.
“Actually,” the swan replied,

“I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two colors.
I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation.”

The crow then approached the parrot.
The parrot explained,
“I lived a very happy life—until I saw a peacock.
I have only two colors, but the peacock has multiple colors.”

The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him.

After the people had left,
The crow approached the Peacock..

Dear Peacock,
You are so beautiful.
Every day thousands of people come to see you.
When people see me,
they immediately shoo me away.
I think you are the happiest bird on the planet.

The peacock replied,
I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet.
But because of my beauty,
I am entrapped in this zoo.

I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage.

So for past few days I have been thinking that if I were a crow,
I could happily roam everywhere.

That’s our problem too.

We make unnecessary comparison with others and become sad.

We don’t value what God has given us.
This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.

Value the things god has given us.

Learn the secret of being happy and discard the comparison which leads only to unhappiness…

thanks for reading those stories my friend, appreciate that u r reading and liking it.

In todays world it is very simple search.... do the copy paste.(internet boom)
like everybody, i also faced the music of life and went thru ups and downs. I had nobody.....only such stories helped me realize that i have everybody and everything.

when i was kid i never used to study school books...i used to do research abt bharat,chanakya,harrappa,mauryas,asoka,cholas and so on.....
one story that made a huge impact on me in the beginning was special olympics and kid stories....I am Not a Cry baby infact quite opposite and handle adverse situation good,with such stories made me realize that i can cry that too with just 4 lines....

earlier i had huge collection of such stories. Not anymore.....but would search for such stories that kept me going.

Special thanks to amit for this lovely thread and letting all posters post.

Happy trading, my best wishes

There was a Boy ‘n a Girl,They were best friends for years ‘n years,They could Talk for hours on the Phone ‘n text each other for days, When They were Together; Not a single Sad Thought could cross their Minds, everything was Great, But One Day;

The Boy did not Answer any Call or Reply to any Text for a Day, The Girl was worried that something was Wrong At night She couldn’t Sleep.., She was sitting in her Room Crying, ‘n It was then that She Realized how much He Means to Her..?

The next Morning; She woke Up from a Phone call.., It was the Boy..:) Boy: Hey.., Girl: I'm so glad that you Called Me, What happened to you yesterday ?? Boy: I was Busy

[ The GIRL Understood that; Something was Wrong but could not Ask] [silence]

Boy: You know..; We should Stop talking..! Girl: What??.., But Why ?? Boy: I am Sorry, Bye..!
[He Disconnected the call, 'n She Felt as If Somebody had Slammed the door on Her face]

Everything else Flashed in Her Mind, Tears :’
( Cars running by Her.. Roof of some building..’n Sunset.. She couldn't understand anything.. She started Feeling Lonely, Dejected, ‘n broken..:’( That was the answer to everything! His words were pouncing on her.. Her heart wanted to jump out! He was the One..!

“Why..??” She Screamed at the Top of her Voice; Then She made up Her Mind to make a last Try to get Him Back..!
[She called Him Up] Girl: hi… Boy: Why are you calling Me? Girl: I need to tell you Something..

Boy: Go Ahead. Girl: I Just Wanted You to know one thing before we stopped talking!
Boy: Tell me..!
Girl: Are you All right?
[She broke off..! She tried but may be he doesn't really Care about Her, She Thought! She wasn't His friend in the first Place... Tears were slowly running Worst :'
( She left the House with a Note..!
[5 hours later]
Phone Rang in the Boy’s Room, It was the Girl’s Mum,
The girl was lying in the hospital, Got hit by a Car, :’
( The Boy rushed to the Hospital where She was. She Opened Her Eyes with the Boy’s name..,
He took her Hand.. Boy: Im so Sorry Its all my fault..! But; I promise when U get better I’ll make It up to You..:(

Girl: I wont get Better.. Boy: No..! No Don’t say that..:( Girl: just tell me one thing Why did you do it?

Boy told her that He had a Heart problem ‘n he did not want her to be worried; ‘n there was a risk that he could have Died..!
Boy: I did that because
I…..I…..I Love you..
Girl: I LOVE YOU TOO..
‘n After That her heart Stopped Beating…:O She Died..!
:’( The Boy died 10 mins later from a Heart Attack..:’
( He could not live with the thought that; She died Because of Him.. :’(

Moral: "If You Love Someone…Then Don’t Hold Back Your Feelings… Because Love is The Reason to Live..!
