He was sick and lying in bed alone. His parents had died and his uncle did not want him in the house. He had little money and many past incidences which gave him pain. He did not feel any strength in his body for the past four years. Because his mental pain was not going, his medicines also were not responding. He was crying that I have wasted four years of my life. I have not achieved anything. The golden years of my life are gone. Yes, he was just 32 years old.
He was inconsolably crying. I asked him, you may feel like you have not achieved anything. I want to ask you, how much efforts have you made in the past four years. He started sharing, how he tried to stay independently despite of his body situation, how he had tried to start a new business and also, how he was teaching his house help’s child. While sharing, he started crying again and said that I have tried but I am nowhere. But you will be. See, you have done all you could do. Sometime, you may not see the results instantly. It is also about we keep doing all we can and the results may or may not come but Eventually, they will.
It is like we work hard to get the cake batter ready. And after we have stirred everything, we have to put into oven for baking. And we need to patienly wait for a long time to finally eat the cake. And if we try to take it out in between, we cannot eat that. It will be half baked. So we keep putting the efforts. Who knows, right now, our cake is being baked.
If we have put in our sincere efforts every day, we shall know, we have done our best. And then we shall trust and have faith that best will be done in return. And it will. This gentleman got a very good job after one year and then he started creating a life in a better way.
