00:00In a peaceful village nestled between green hills and flowing rivers, lived an old man named Harun.
00:08He was a quiet farmer, not rich, not famous, but respected by everyone.
00:16People often wondered why he always seemed so calm, content and wise, while others ran around chasing things, always in a hurry, always complaining.
00:28One day, a young man named Saif, who had recently moved to the village, came to Harun with frustration in his heart.
00:39Uncle, he said, I'm trying everything. I have goals dreams, and I work hard, but I feel lost. I start things, I give up. I make plans, I break them. Time keeps slipping away.
00:58How do you stay so calm? So in control.
01:04Harun looked at him for a moment, then stood up.
01:09Come, he said. Let's walk.
01:12They walked down a narrow path, past the fields, toward the edge of the forest. Harun stopped near a small, clear stream.
01:23Look at the water, he said. See how it flows. Not fast, not slow. But steady. Every day it moves. Clears the rocks, smooths the soil, nourishes everything around it. That's discipline.
01:44Saif looked puzzled. Harun smiled.
01:49Let me tell you a story. Long ago, I was like you. I wanted everything, wealth, status, success. I chased many paths.
02:03I tried to build a business, write a book, learn music. But I never stayed with anything long enough. I got bored. I gave up. I blamed the world.
02:18What changed? Saif asked.
02:23One day, I visited a wise teacher in the mountains. I told him the same things you're telling me now. He said nothing for a while.
02:36Then he gave me a simple task. He handed me a pot and said, fetch water from the river every day and fill that tank over there.
02:47Do it for forty days. Do nothing else.
02:53That's it.
02:55Saif asked. Harun nodded. At first, I was confused. It was too simple. But I did it. Rain or shine, tired or not, I went. Every morning. Same path.
03:14Same river. Same pot. The first few days felt boring. But slowly, something changed. I began waking up earlier. I became sharper. My thoughts became clearer. I began noticing the birds, the way the sun rose, the rhythm of my steps.
03:40And then. On the fortieth day, the teacher said, you have learned the secret. Discipline is not punishment. It's training. It's love. It's freedom from the chaos inside you.
03:59Harun picked up a small stone from the stream. You see this? If I drop it in the water once, nothing happens. But if a drop of water falls on it every day for years, it will change its shape. That's the power of small, repeated actions.
04:22Saif stood in silence.
04:52Keep doing, without giving up.
04:55They turned back toward the village, the sun beginning to set behind the hills. From that day, Saif changed. He stopped chasing many things and committed to one.
05:09He woke early, faced distractions with calm. It wasn't easy. But slowly, his life began to shift. People noticed. He was no longer the restless newcomer. He had become steady focused. Like the stream that never rushed, never stopped, and shaped everything in its path.
05:37And all he had done was discipline his life. One simple act at a time.
