00:00Once in a quiet village surrounded by green fields lived a boy named Raju.
00:06He was kind and hard-working, but his life was full of storms.
00:11His family was poor, his father was sick, and Raju worked long hours in the fields just to put food on the table.
00:20Every day he felt crushed by problems he couldn't control.
00:25Raju often asked himself,
00:26Why is life so unfair?
00:28Why do I have to suffer so much?
00:32Anger built inside him.
00:34His life felt heavy and peace seemed impossible.
00:38One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Raju sat by the village river, tears rolling down his cheeks.
00:46A wise old man passing by noticed him and gently asked,
00:51Why are you crying, young man?
00:53Raju poured his heart out about his struggles, his poverty, and the anger eating him from inside.
01:01The wise old man listened quietly and then smiled.
01:05I see your pain, but tell me, do you think anger will solve it?
01:10Raju looked confused.
01:12What else can I do?
01:14My life is full of problems.
01:17The wise old man picked up a small clay pot nearby, filled it with water from the river, and handed it to Raju.
01:25This pot is like your heart, he said.
01:29Then he dropped a small stone into it, and the water rippled.
01:33The stone is your anger.
01:36Look at how it disturbs the calm water.
01:38Now imagine you have many stones.
01:41Anger, hate, jealousy.
01:43How can the water ever reflect the sky?
01:46Raju stared at the rippling water.
01:48It cannot, he whispered.
01:52Exactly, said the wise old man.
01:55Your heart is the same.
01:57As long as you fill it with anger, your life will never be still.
02:01But if you remove the stones and let peace enter, your heart will become calm.
02:08And a calm heart can solve problems a restless one never could.
02:12The words sank deep into Raju's soul.
02:15From that day, he decided to change.
02:19Not the world around him, but the storm inside him.
02:23He started small, sitting silently by the river, focusing only on his breath.
02:30When anger came, he paused instead of reacting.
02:34When problems arose, he faced them with patience instead of rage.
02:39Years later, Raju became known not just as a successful man, but as
02:44the boy with the peaceful heart.
02:47He often told others,
02:50Peace does not mean life has no struggles.
02:53It means you choose to remain calm even when storms rage inside and around you.
02:59A peaceful heart is stronger than any obstacle.
03:03It doesn't mean you run away from struggles.
03:06It means you face them with patience, clarity, and courage.
03:10If life feels heavy today, do not fight it with anger.
03:15Breathe.
03:16Be still.
03:17Let peace guide you.
03:19And you will discover strength you never knew you had.
