In a quiet village,
there lived a man named Raghav.
Raghav worked hard every day,
yet nothing seemed to change.
His crops grew slowly.
His business barely moved forward.
His dreams felt far away.
One evening, tired and frustrated,
Raghav sat under a tree and whispered,
“Why does nothing happen quickly for me?”
As the sun began to set,
a calm voice answered.
“Because some things need time.”
Raghav looked up
and saw Krishna standing before him,
holding a flute and smiling gently.
Raghav’s eyes widened.
“O Lord,” he said eagerly,
“I work every day.
Why don’t I see results immediately?”
Krishna looked at the nearby field.
“Come,” he said softly.
“Walk with me.”
They walked past farmland,
where tiny plants were just beginning to grow.
Krishna asked,
“How long did these plants take to appear?”
Raghav replied,
“Many weeks, my Lord.”
Krishna nodded.
“And could you pull them out
to make them grow faster?”
Raghav shook his head.
“No. That would destroy them.”
Krishna smiled.
“Life works the same way,” he said.
“Effort is the seed.
Time is the soil.”
Raghav listened carefully.
“But Lord,” he said,
“others seem to succeed faster than me.”
Krishna stopped walking.
He pointed to two paths.
“One path looks smooth,” Krishna said.
“But it leads to shallow roots.”
“The other path is slow,”
“but it builds strength.”
Raghav lowered his head.
“I am tired of waiting,” he admitted.
Krishna placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Waiting is not weakness,”
Krishna said gently.
“It is preparation.”
He continued,
“Results appear when effort, patience,
and purpose meet.”
Raghav felt something shift inside him.
He realized
he had been measuring progress by speed,
not by growth.
Krishna turned to leave.
As he walked away,
his voice echoed softly:
“Do your work with sincerity.
Let time do its work honestly.”
The next morning,
Raghav returned to his field.
Nothing had changed.
Yet everything felt different.
He worked with calm focus,
no longer chasing instant rewards.
And slowly—
very slowly—
life began to respond.
🌟 MORAL OF THE STORY
Not everything that grows quickly lasts.
True success comes to those
who trust effort and time.
