The story started in a small village. The name of the village is Krishnanagar. Every person in this village was very hardworking and honest. Agriculture was the main means of livelihood of the village people. Their way of life was dependent on nature. There lived an old farmer named Haripada.
Haripada was a very honest, hardworking and humble man. He worked all day in his fields, grew crops and sold them for a living. Harip was accompanied by his wife Sarala and only daughter Meera. Meera was only 18 years old then. She was a very sweet and talented girl.
Harip's family was happy. But suddenly one day Haripada fell ill. According to the doctor, his heart condition is very bad. A lot of money is required for treatment. Haripad did not want to go to the hospital at first. He knew that he could not afford to raise so much money. But at the insistence of his wife and daughter, he finally had to go.
Treatment began at the hospital, but after a few days the money ran out. Meera was heartbroken. He realized that if his father's treatment was incomplete, it would not be possible to save his life. But where to get the money? The income earned from agriculture was used to meet their daily expenses.
Meera's heart hardened. He decided, something had to be done. He went around the village asking people for help. Some gave a little money, but no major treatment was possible. Still Meera did not give up. He knew he had to save his father. His mind was so strong that he stopped at nothing.
Meera started applying for jobs to different people. Finally one day, he got a job in a small shop in town. The work was small, but Meera was satisfied. He worked during the day, and at night sat by his father and encouraged him.
Haripada realized how hard his daughter was working for him. His chest filled with love. Seeing the strength of Mira's mind, he himself dreamed of living again with new zeal. He said to Meera, "You are my only courage. The way you fight for me with the strength of your heart gives me strength to live."
Harip's treatment started gradually with Meera's work money. But Meera did not give up even for a moment. He used to do his own work every day and save for his father. He was handling everything by force of mind.
After some time, Haripada recovered completely. Doctors said, it is a miracle. He recovered so quickly because of his strength of mind. Meera was overjoyed to see her father healthy again.
Haripada looked at Meera and said, "I will never forget what you did. You gave me my life back. You are my strength."
Tears came to Meera's eyes. She smiled and said, "Father, your love is the strength of my heart. I was willing to do anything to save you."
The people of the village were also overwhelmed by Meera's courage and strength of mind. They all respected Meera.
Now Haripad is healthy and his daughter Meera is known as a brave and strong-willed girl in the eyes of everyone in the village. Haripada too began to relish life. Meera's strength of mind gave her new life.
The story does not end here. From this story we learn that strength of mind helps people to do many things. If we lose our strength in adverse situations, then we will not be able to do anything in life. But with strength of mind, we can overcome all obstacles and do a lot for our loved ones.
Strength of mind is the real power of life. By the power of the mind man lives, fights and wins. And when the mind is strong, no power in the world can defeat it.
