Once upon a time there lived a little girl who was calm, kind and innocent. Her calmness didn’t mean that her mind was calm as well, she felt intense pain to see children and babies begging down the streets. She was furious about the wrong that might happen as well. She was bursting with goodness on the inside but didn’t know what to do and how to do to help out.
Just then a friend moved close to the little girls home. To the little girls surprise the friend and her mum had all the courage that she didn’t. They fed all the cats on the street, brought the pregnant dogs into their house, touched the begging lady to cross the road and raised their voice against any wrong doings that they came across.
This brought them close to the little girls heart and they became close friends. Since her friend was very exploring kind, the little girl came out of her shell, they were upto lot of naughty things. But as is fate they both ended up in a wrong deed. The little girls parents were the first to sense this. They explained to her they are there for her and that she has to just trust them. The little girl was in mental pain but decided to have 100 % faith in her parents and gave her all, to follow what they said.
She grew up to become a successful young women, she had forgotten about all her inner searching’s and was dwelling in material life, until she met someone special who instilled back the little girls searchings were not for love, friendship, success or material happiness but to realise herself.

Materialism is a mirage, work for the self is the real work.
