A man was traveling on his path, determined to reach his ultimate goal. Along the way, he started feeling hungry. He now had a new goal: to eat. He also felt thirsty, so he left his original path and started walking towards the river. Upon reaching the river, he thought it's best to wash his hands before eating or drinking - yet another goal. So, he bent down. The river was still, and he could see a golden bracelet deep down. Suddenly, he forgot his hunger and thirst, forgot about washing his hands, and thought only of possessing the golden bracelet. He jumped into the water but couldn't find it. A passerby saw him jumping in and out of the river and asked why. The passerby said, "O Friend, the bracelet is not in the river; it's high up on the branches of the tree. You are chasing the reflection!" The man now had yet another goal: to climb the tree . . . and so on.
What is the goal of life? We should not react to the events of life, but we should keep the goal of our life clear. No matter what happens in our life, we should never lose faith. Difficulties come to make us better people in life. So, we should feel happy that we are clearing our debt. We should completely and unconditionally surrender to His will.
