1. 0:00Once upon a time in a small village
2. 0:02surrounded by mountains, there lived a
3. 0:0524 yearear-old young man named Marco.
4. 0:08Marco was very restless. His mind was
5. 0:11always full of thoughts. All day long,
6. 0:15different thoughts came and went and
7. 0:17these thoughts made him feel uneasy and
8. 0:20tired. He always felt sad about his past
9. 0:23and worried a lot about the future.
10. 0:26Because of these thoughts, his mind was
11. 0:28like a storm. He couldn't feel calm,
12. 0:32couldn't sleep well, and even forgot how
13. 0:34to smile. One day, Marco heard about a
14. 0:38far away village in the hills. People
15. 0:41said that a wise old man lived there.
16. 0:44That man used to be a famous
17. 0:45psychologist in the city. He had helped
18. 0:48many people in his life and had taught
19. 0:50them how to find peace in their minds.
20. 0:54Now he was old.
21. 0:56He left the busy life of the city and
22. 0:59started living in a quiet village close
23. 1:00to nature.
24. 1:02Sometimes he gave advice to visitors.
25. 1:05Marco became curious and hopeful. He
26. 1:08decided that he must go and meet that
27. 1:10old man. He thought, "Maybe this wise
28. 1:14man can help me find peace."
29. 1:18After many days of a long and tiring
30. 1:20journey, Marco reached the village in
31. 1:22the hills. When he got there, he saw a
32. 1:26small house covered with greenery. On
33. 1:28the porch of the house, the old man was
34. 1:31sitting quietly. His eyes were closed
35. 1:34and he looked very peaceful.
36. 1:37Marco walked up to him and said softly,
37. 1:40"Grandfather,
38. 1:41my mind is very restless.
39. 1:44I cannot stop thinking. I want peace in
40. 1:47my heart. Can you help me? The old man
41. 1:51slowly opened his eyes and gave a calm
42. 1:53smile. He said, "So, you are looking for
43. 1:57peace? Then come with me. I will give
44. 2:01you a small task." He took Marco to his
45. 2:04little yard. Then he filled a glass with
46. 2:06water completely full to the top. The
47. 2:10glass was so full that even a little
48. 2:12shake would make the water spill. He
49. 2:15gave the glass to Marco and said, "Walk
50. 2:18from here to the edge of the village and
51. 2:20then come back.
52. 2:22But remember, you must not spill even
53. 2:25one drop of water."
54. 2:28Marco looked at him with surprise, but
55. 2:30he wanted to do his best, so he accepted
56. 2:33the challenge.
57. 2:35He held the glass carefully and started
58. 2:37walking. The road was narrow and busy.
59. 2:41Some people were walking, some were
60. 2:43running. Shopkeepers were calling
61. 2:45customers and dogs were barking.
62. 2:48But Marco did not look around. His eyes
63. 2:51stayed only on the glass.
64. 2:53He walked slowly and carefully, step by
65. 2:56step. People looked at him with
66. 2:59surprise, but no one disturbed him. They
67. 3:03knew he was learning something
68. 3:04important.
69. 3:06Finally, Marco came back to the old man
70. 3:08and said, "Grandfather, I did it. I
71. 3:12didn't spill even one drop of water. The
72. 3:15old man nodded and smiled. Then he
73. 3:18asked, "That's good, but tell me, did
74. 3:22you see the children playing on the side
75. 3:24of the road? Did you hear the dogs
76. 3:26barking?" Marco looked surprised and
77. 3:29said, "No,
78. 3:31I didn't see or hear anything. I was
79. 3:34only focusing on the glass."
80. 3:37The old man smiled again and said
81. 3:38gently, "That is the secret. Something
82. 3:42that was always inside you, but you
83. 3:44didn't know. When your mind stays in the
84. 3:47present moment, then there is no space
85. 3:49for fear, no confusion and no extra
86. 3:53thoughts.
87. 3:54You were only thinking about the water
88. 3:56in the glass. At that time, your mind
89. 3:59became completely quiet. You were not
90. 4:02sad about the past. You were not afraid
91. 4:05of the future.
92. 4:07Slowly, Marco began to understand.
93. 4:10This was the peace he was searching for.
94. 4:13Peace is not something we find outside.
95. 4:16Peace is already inside us when we live
96. 4:18in the present moment. Marco bowed his
97. 4:21head and said softly, "Grandfather, now
98. 4:25I understand.
99. 4:27If I want to calm my mind, I must keep
100. 4:29my mind in this moment. That is when
101. 4:32real peace comes.
102. 4:34The old man smiled again. The sun was
103. 4:37setting and the last light touched the
104. 4:40ground. Birds were flying back to their
105. 4:42nests. Marco started walking back home.
106. 4:46But now he was not the same restless
107. 4:49young man. He had changed. He was
108. 4:52peaceful inside because now he knew how
109. 4:54to ce the mind.
