I recently met my grandfather and grandmother, they both are 90 years old. We touched upon various topics but I also wanted to know what keeps them going, and what happiness means to them. So I asked a few questions to learn from their fulfilling journey.

Below is the key of their fulfilling journey :

 Dada Ji (Grand Father):

Work sincerely daily , don’t worry about What will happen tomorrow or what has happened yesterday. Spend your more wisely – means spend some portion of your money on feeding animals , giving food , blankets , shelter to persons in need and also spend some money towards religious activities.

Dadi Ji (Grand mother) :

If your life requirements are getting met then Do seva, feed saints – people who are believers of god and nature. Dont lie , dont take shortcuts
