In a small village in pre-Independent India, A little boy was born to a not so wealthy parents. He had an incident in early life and due to that was physically challenged and missed out on the childhood fun to an extent. He never saw it that as his limitation did wonder in his lifetime. As an older child in the family he took responsibilities on his shoulders well beyond his capacity but never complained. He was the support system of the family and ably supported his parents in raising up his younger siblings. In this process he never realized that his childhood was completely taken and couldn’t do what the normal kids do – Play and fun. Basically,just being the kid! The early age responsibilities made him so serious in life and he was blind folded with all the beautiful things what a child should have enjoyed. But he never complained and carried his responsibilities with grace. He found element of fun in whatever he did and perceived that to be the norm of a child life.
Time passed. The boy grew up to be one handsome man and got married and had children of his own. He had a good job but wasn’t enough to feed his family. Meeting the ends was a day-to-day challenge. For him hard work was a piece of cake as he grew up with it. He put 17-18 hours a day with ease and worked till his last breath. He never took a break from work. His motto was to only provide a good life to his children, wife, parents, siblings and everyone in the family. He loved his family to the core. It just didn’t stop there. He did everything he can do improve the life of the people around him – His friends, neighbors and community. Being an extremely smart man, his shot to fame in no time due to his hard work, commitment, empathy and caring. He helped people in various ways he can. He was a mentor, friend, philosopher, guide everything to his family and friends. Everyone knew that he had solutions for every problem in life. His life was so encompassed with solving everyone’s problems that he started neglecting his health. he had no interest in materialistic things. He led a very simple life. nothing was fancy at all! Leave apart pressing his clothes he didn’t even pay attention to torn in his clothes. He would replace his torn slippers only on severe insistence. Even Mahatma Gandhi would have been shocked with his simple life style and the principles he meticulously followed in life. His stood by set of principles he carved out for himself. Being an extremely pious man and follower of spiritual practices, He was a Sant( Saint) in his own terms. He was a strict vegetarian and needless to say was clean with habits. His only goal was to serve people in his capacity and take care of his family. He worked day and night and ensured that his family has everything they need to lead a good life. He children settled well with respectable job. They soon got married and started their own lives.
The man physically not very strong and retired from his job but people he served in the past wanted his expertise in wealth management and kept him busy. He continued to serve people without even caring for his health. Of course nothing changed in his life style and everything remained the same. He was eating nowhere but only at home cooked by his wife who had dedicated her life for her husband. She handled with extreme grace all his requirements and remained a devoted wife and found happiness in serving her husband who in turn found god in everyone. Leave aside him, even his family barely remembered his birthdays. His birthday was never important for him but he never missed a birthday of his children in his lifetime.
Children got their wings and flew and this couple left by themselves. The old man’s health started deteriorating and one sudden day he was gone after some suffering. His negligence of health costed his life. The people he served felt bad for him and for themselves for losing a reliable person who was like a one man army. For his family, he was the pillar of strength.
The children who were of course close to him didn’t know what an asset he was ! They realized what a vacuum created in their lives without him. Now they remember him everyday and try to walk in his foot steps. They wished he was around so they could give him what he never asked in a life time.
A real Karma yogi ( a Sanskrit term for Selfless service and one of the four paths for realization) who dedicated his life for serving others and totally a selfless man.
He is not a renowned person but made an impact for hundreds and thousands of people around him without any noise. His children celebrate his birthday as a day of realization of what they didn’t do for him in his life time. He was a real hero for them !!
Live for others like he did and importantly recognize and make those people feel good on their contribution. Irony of life, those who give more would get less in return.
Not fair !!
