Sitting underneath the shade of a banyan tree, a fisherman was having his morning catch on a fishing rod, from a nearby river.
A passer by was watching him, from a distance for some time.
Suddenly the fisherman got a good catch, he took the fish from
his rod, walked towards the tree and began taking rest. The passerby
went towards him, and asked him why he did not use a fishing net for
fishing, so that he could get a better catch.
Fisherman: so what?
Passerby: Better catch will give you more money, so that you can buy a fishing boat and catch more fish.
Fisherman: So what?
Passerby: Then you can have so many fishing boats and so many fishermen
, catching fish for you, which will earn you more money,
and then you can have a beautiful home, lovely wife, and dear
children.
Fisherman: So what?
Passerby: Then you can retire from fishing and take rest.
Fisherman: That is what I am doing now!
Friends! That passerby stood still as if thunderstruck and got realized instantaneously.
