The famous Greek philosopher Sukraat once visited a city while traveling, where he met an old man, Hui. The two mingled quite a bit and talked very frankly. Sukraat said, expressing satisfaction, “Your past life has been wonderful, but in this old age, tell me something about the difficulties you are facing now.”
The old man smiled a bit and said – I am sure to give my family responsibility to my sons. I do what they say. I eat whatever they feed me with and keep on laughing and playing with my grandchildren. I do not hinder their personal work, but whenever they come for counseling, I give advice by keeping all my life experiences in front of them. It’s not my job to watch and spoil my mind to see how much they follow my suggestions. I would not be worried if they make a mistake even after consultation. But when they come to me again, then my door is always open for them and again they are justified.
Sukraat was very pleased to hear from the old man. He said- You have very well understood how to live life at this age.
-Er. Tarachand
