~A Story~
In ancient times, there once ruled an intelligent king
who constantly worried about something or the other.
And now and then, for various reasons, he used to feel helpless and hapless.
In ancient times, there once ruled an intelligent king
who constantly worried about something or the other.
And now and then, for various reasons, he used to feel helpless and hapless.
He often behaved like those ordinary people who,
for lack of resources, could never face a problem in a lively and bold manner.
As a consequence of which, he never laughed.
Even his ministers never saw him laughing.
Nor did they ever smile in the king’s presence.

Nor did they ever smile in the king’s presence.
One day, the well-wishers of the king discreetly thought of ways & means
To change his attitude towards life.
So they made a plan.
Next time, when the king’s court was held.
As usual, the king called for his closest minister & said,
‘I’m worried about something.’

As usual, the king called for his closest minister & said,
‘I’m worried about something.’
Upon hearing this. The minister promptly replied,
‘Yes, Your Honor. I know that, and I have been thinking about it.’
Upon hearing the minister’s reply, the king was astounded,
‘Even without my telling you, how do you know about my worry?’ The king asked.
‘Yes, Your Honor. I know that, and I have been thinking about it.’
Upon hearing the minister’s reply, the king was astounded,
‘Even without my telling you, how do you know about my worry?’ The king asked.
The minister replied humbly.
‘Your majesty. I’m not interested in learning about your problem
because I already know the solution to your problem.’
King was surprised at this, and he said,
‘Even without knowing my problem, how do you know the solution?’
‘Your majesty. I’m not interested in learning about your problem
because I already know the solution to your problem.’
King was surprised at this, and he said,
‘Even without knowing my problem, how do you know the solution?’
Minister replied in a respectful tone.
‘Your majesty, quite possibly you may not have one but many problems,
but to all your problems, there's only one solution.’
Upon hearing this.
The king got baffled & hesitantly asked,
‘May I know what's the solution to my problem?’
‘Your majesty, quite possibly you may not have one but many problems,
but to all your problems, there's only one solution.’
Upon hearing this.
The king got baffled & hesitantly asked,
‘May I know what's the solution to my problem?’
The minister replied,
‘Your majesty, please don’t worry about the solution
As it is absolutely on the dot and perfect for you.’
The king tried to guess what the minister had in mind when he said,
‘Well, if there is a problem, how can I not worry?’
‘Your majesty, please don’t worry about the solution
As it is absolutely on the dot and perfect for you.’
The king tried to guess what the minister had in mind when he said,
‘Well, if there is a problem, how can I not worry?’
Minister bowed respectfully & asked,
‘Your majesty, to date, has your worry solved any of your problems?'
‘No,’ replied the king.
'Well, if so, then why worry?'
'My wise king, you know it well that the mystery of success
doesn’t lie in worries but in removing concerns.'

‘No,’ replied the king.
'Well, if so, then why worry?'
'My wise king, you know it well that the mystery of success
doesn’t lie in worries but in removing concerns.'
'And you would appreciate the fact that
our fears lead us to our graves.
The joy of life is in rejoicing & not in worrying.
Your majesty, you are so knowledgeable.
With your wisdom, you lead us.
Then, why don’t you set up a more positive aura of yourself in front of us?'

The king then realized his stupidity and ignorance.
He also learned how subtly his minister and well-wishers taught him this simple fact of life.
He laughed and was somewhat astonished
When everyone else, too, started laughing with him.

Moral:
Worrying is not the solution to our problem.
On the contrary, it makes us weak and creates barriers on our way to success.
To win over your worry means you have already won fifty percent of the battle.
