Health is wealth

Once there lived a fat man who was very fat and had a desire to decrease his weight, but no matter what he did he was unable to loose his weight. He went to various doctors, dietician, places which promised to decrease his weight, but his weight never budged. He was completely fed up. One day he was told that a new doctor has come to their city who was considered to be a very good doctor and the problems of all his patients has disappeared. His friend suggested that he go to that doctor, initially he was reluctant. Later he decided to give it a try, since many people were singing glories of this doctor. He got an appointment with this doctor and on the stipulated date and time, he went to the doctor. When the doctor asked him his problem, he said about his overweight but also said that he will accept the glories of all his patient only if the doctor manages to bring down his weight. He also added that he would like to undergo treatment which doesn't make him undergo fasting, too much of exercies etc. since he has done all these things and nothing works out for him. The doctor agreed and said that he will have to do only simple things and not very complicated things and he was very sure that the weight will definitely come down.

The doctor asked this fat man what he eats for breakfast, lunch, dinner etc. The fat man also gives the doctor all the details which is noted down by the doctor. Now the doctor tells the fat man to start eating double the quantity of what he was eating at present, the fat man was also very happy since no one had told him so far to do such a thing in the past. He goes home happily and starts eating double the quantity. Naturally, his weight increases further and after a few months goes again to the doctor. The doctor examines him and says that he is doing perfectly well and the advises him to double the quantity of food every month. This fat man is very happy because there are no restriction in food and absolutely no exercise also. Every month his weight also increases, slowly he finds it difficult to move his body, but still does so with great difficulty. Then he finds it dificult to get up from the bed because of the weight of the body, so he finds that most of the time he is always in the bed.
His friends and relatives help him in eating and moving about, but after some time they also become fed up of serving him daily. Hence, slowly he is left alone, because he is unable to move around he happpens to loose his job, house facilities and now lies in a miserable condition. With no one to help him around, no food etc he slowly starts loosing his weight. He becomes very thin and also angry with the doctor for not having put any limits on the food intake. He goes to the doctor in an angry mood and shouts at the doctor. The doctor listens patiently and then replies that because thefat man was not able to put any limit for the desire for the food, the person had become fat and lazy. The only way to come out of this situation is to push him to an extreme condition which will make him realize that there is a need to cut down his desires. That is what exactly he had done and the result is already in front of him. He took the once fat man and made him see his figure in the mirror. The moment the fat man saw himself in the miror, he became relaxed and happy. He couldn't believe that he was seeing his own figure. A body which had bloated and was refusing to come down, has now come down to such an unbelievable figure, that he kept on admiring it. He looked so young now. He thanked the doctor and smiled and said that indeed he was the best doctor as the people had said.
He realised that Health is wealth and the need to control desires and stop it after a limit.
