SPIRITUALITY

AIM OF LIVING : ( Compressed from my Short story) :

Two young intelligent friends ( Mr A & B) went to a hill Station to enjoy the Sun-Rise on Jako Hills, Simla ( India ) . they decided two different climbs and then tell each other their respective experiences , on return to the park at the base of the hill.

On their climb up Mr A suddenly saw the crimson Sun,- rising ,selected the nearest rock , sat down and went on enjoying the cosmic beauty - mesmerised.

Mr. B, the other friend climbing from another side suddenly decided to beat his friend' in reaching the 'Top' .

and.. started climbing on and on , ignoring the SUN-Rise view and reached the peak sweating and panting but was very happy , not finding his friend on the top.....

When Mr. B climbed down to the Park , he found his friend reclined on a bench and happily looking on at the space above , as if intoxicated by some UN-earthly joy, Mr B asked his friend -' you could not climb to the peak ?

" No ' the friend replied, - ' I found the crimson Sun rising and sat to enjoy the SUN-Rise'... ' But I reached the peak and you could not ! '. Mr A told in a winner-spirit...

.Mr. B looked back at his friend and told - ' but my friend , - what was our AIM when we came to this Hill- station ! '. ... Mr. A started to think backward and find out - what was that AIM !
