On a day, a family and a friend's family together decided to go out to a distant place on picnic..
One of the friends offered to drive the SUV. Accordingly he sat in the driver’s seat with seat belt on, adjusted the mirrors for rear view and set his position..
“During driving one should constantly keep looking into the rear view mirrors. There lies the safety!”
He remarked.. The families behind smiled and the vehicle moved on..
On the way the gentleman filled the fuel tank full and checked for the tyre pressures..
“It is safe to have full tank on long drives with the right tyre pressures including the stepney's!"
He said. The members nodded their heads and the vehicle continued moving..
“Regular maintenance of the vehicle at an extra cost ensures safety all along!”
He proclaimed..
The members remained silent and the vehicle moved on..
The man's driving was rough, too much braking and pulling along with murmuring and shouting at other road users..

"People lack road sense!"
The man remarked..
The members remained tight lipped and the vehicle continued moving..
There were certain beautiful spots on the way but seeing the man’s mood they kept quiet and the journey continued..
After 3 hours of tense travel finally they reached the destination. The man while reversing to park the vehicle touched the left mirror with an adjacent wall projection and the same broke into two pieces..
The day was spent at the new place and the families started back home at around 6 PM..

The other friend offered to drive while coming back..
He quickly checked all the essentials at one stroke without uttering a single word and moved the vehicle smoothly with no shocks and bumps and no sudden braking and pulling..
On the way, the relaxed man in the driver’s seat kept his passengers too at ease, briefly interacted with them at certain times all the while keeping a watch on the road..
He made it a point to stop the vehicle for a short time at the 3 interesting Places on the way for the members which they missed while coming explaining to them the importance of those places..
Again as he continued his driving, he was seen giving preference to a few difficult people on the road with all politeness leaving out his turn and got a ‘Thank You’ from them..
Finally the families reached their homes around 9 PM quite relaxed..
When the members thanked the friend for driving well all the way, he smiled and said,
"I love driving and while doing that job I'm happy and keep others too happy!"
Confirming on what the gentleman said,

Chapter 4, Sloka 39 of Srimad Bhagavad Gita
Was heard from the distant Loud Speakers recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel..
'Sraddhaval labhate jnanam tat parah samyatendriyah
Jnanam labdhva param santim acirenadhigacchati.'
'One with full faith (total confidence), attentively focused (fully devoted), who has conquered the senses (self disciplined) achieves transcendental knowledge (true knowledge in any field) and having achieved that knowledge quickly attains supreme peace (will be calm spreading peace round).'
