man knew what he was doing.<br />
So the princess was wrapped in the warmest shawls and<br />
gingerly placed — supported by numerous feather pillows<br />
— in the King’s carriage. The holy man got in beside her and<br />
instructed the driver where to go. He explained to the princess<br />
as they traveled, “I have a few urgent jobs to take<br />
care of on our way. You can accompany me.” They soon<br />
stopped in a poor area on the outskirts of the Kingdom.<br />
The sage stepped down from the carriage, carrying large<br />
sacks filled with clothing and food. He walked house to<br />
house, delivering bags of rice, lentils, wheat to the impoverished<br />
villagers.<br />
Soon, he returned to the carriage to find— as he had expected<br />
— the princess sitting up straight in her seat, peering<br />
eagerly over the side of the carriage. They drove a<br />
little ways, and again the sage stopped the carriage in another<br />
poor, rural village outside the wealthy kingdom. “I<br />
need your help in this village. There is too much for me to<br />
carry,” he told the princess. She barely needed the help of<br />
his hand to get down from the carriage.<br />
The sage carried the heavy bag and gave the princess the<br />
task of handing the food items and wool sweaters to the<br />
grateful villagers. At the first house, she walked slowly,<br />
delicately, and meekly put her hand in the large sack to<br />
take out the bags of rice and lentils.<br />
However, by the third house she was striding confidently<br />
down the path, and by the fifth house she was picking up<br />
the young children to hold them in her arms. As they walked<br />
back to the carriage, she insisted on helping the saint carry<br />
the sacks of food, and she did not need any assistance to<br />
get back up into the carriage. Her cheeks were rosy; there<br />
was a beautiful, radiant smile on her face and a glow in her<br />
eyes.<br />
Upon returning to the kingdom, three short hours after<br />
leaving, the princess nearly jumped out of the carriage and<br />
skipped up the steps to the castle! The King was amazed!<br />
How had the saint cured his daughter so completely, in<br />
such a short time?<br />
The saint explained, “Your daughter was suffering from a<br />
lack of meaning in life. She was suffering from the disease<br />
of being spoiled and having every whim gratified. She<br />
was ill from a life being lived in vain. A journey to the poorest<br />
of the poor, a few hours of giving rather than taking,<br />
the experience of service and selflessness are the only<br />
possible cures.”<br />
Thereafter, the princess traveled twice each week with<br />
the saint, back into the poor villages, distributing food,<br />
clothing and other necessary supplies. She used her position<br />
as princess to help improve the living conditions of all<br />
those who lived in poverty. She dedicated herself to helping<br />
all those in need.<br />
And she never suffered from a day of listlessness again...<br />
Every day people in the West go out, go to work, earn<br />
money and become more prosperous. Yet, at the end of<br />
the day, when they return home, they are not happy. What<br />
is the true secret to internal peace and everlasting joy? I<br />
