A rich old man died leaving two sons. For some time the two continued living together in the traditional Indian way, In a single joint househld, a joint family. Then they quarrelled and decided to separate, dividing all the property between them. Everything was divided fifty-fifty, and thus they settled their affairs. But after the settlement had been made, a small packet was discovered which had been carefully hidden by their father. They opened the packet and found two rings inside, one set with a valuable diamond, and the other an ordinary silver ring worth only a few rupees.

Seein the diamond, the elder brother developed greed in his mind, and he started explaining to the Younger One, "To me it appears that his ring is not the earning of our father, but rather an heirloom from his forefathers. That is why he kept for generations in our family, it should remain for future generations. Therefore I, being elder, shall Keep it. You had better take the silver ring."

The younger brother smiled and said " all right, be happy with the diamond ring, I`ll be happy with the silver one." Both of them placed their rings on their fingers and went their ways.

The younger brother thought to himself. "It is easily understandable that my father keep the diamond ring; it is so valuable. But why did be keep this ordinary silver ring?" He examined the ring closely and found some words engraved on it: "this will also change." "Oh, this is the mantra of my father: "this will also change!" "He replaced the ring on his ring finger.

Both Brothers face all the Ups and downs of life. When spring came, the elder brother became higly elated, losing the balance of his mind. When autumn or winter came, he fell into deep deoression, again losing his mental balance. He became tense, developing hypertension. Unable to sleep at night, he stared using sleeping pills, tranquilizers, stronger drugs. Finally, he reached the stage where he required electric shocks treatments. This was the brother with the diamond ring.

As for the younger brother with the silver ring, when spring came, he enjoyed it; he didnt try to run away from it. He enjoyed it but looked at his ring and remembered, "this will also change" ANd when it changed, he could smile and say, "Well, I knew it was going to change. It has changed, so what!" When autumn or winter came, again he looked at his ring and remembered. "this will also change," He didnt start crying, knowing that this would also change. ANd yes, it also changed, it passed away. Off all the UPS and Downs, all the vicissitudes of life, he knew that nothing is enternal. that everything comes just to pass away. He did nit lose the balance of his mind and he lived a peaceful, happy life. This was the brother with the silver ring
