of Peace
Once, a king decided to
give his kingdom's biggest prize to a boy for his braveru. But the boy was not
happy with this. When the king came to know, he himself went to the boy and
said him to ask for anything as a reward. But the boy again denied taking
anything. When the king asked him what the reason behind it, the boy replied
that he wanted only peace of mind as a reward. He wanted neither money nor
reward. Then the king decided to take the boy to a saint who himself was so
peaceful and would be able to provide him with peace. When the king told him
that the boy wanted only peace as a reward then the saint replied that he
himself was not peaceful; how could he give him peace? Peace is that wealth which
can't be given or taken by others.
Moral: Peace of mind is the
biggest wealth.
