But this was not all. At the age of 58 I felt that my professional work did not interest me as it used to earlier and there were many things in my life I could not do due to my preoccupation and that I should retire from work at the age of 60. The more I thought about this I got convinced that If I have to lead a joyful and peaceful post retirement life, I need to plan it meticulously. I asked many of my friends approaching 60 if they ever thought about this and in all cases the answer was no. Now I got more curious about this and decided to interact with people who have already retired and crossed sixty. It was shocking when I received the same response from this section of society too. Some of them were doing morning walk, watching TV or reading books etc but none of them had an interesting and joyful routine right from getting up in the morning till going to bed at night as they had not planned their post retirement life which now they felt was not very interesting and also boring many times resulting in frustration and stress.
It was now that I gave a very serious thought to this and I did an indepth planning for my post retirement life. I feel very happy and proud to state that this did the magic in my life after I retired from work at the age of 62, and now at the age of 78 when I look back, I feel so happy and satisfied to have lead a fully enjoyable, stress free and peaceful life with my wife up to the age of 67 and there after her death, alone until today. I attribute this to the spiritual learning and an in depth post retirement planning of life done by me.
In the first chapter I have considered various aspects of spiritualism and have explained each aspect in a most simple way connecting my own experience with it.
In the second chapter I have explained in detail how I planned my post retirement life and implemented the same after I retired from work along with various aspects of this planning in different family situations. I have also narrated some very interesting experiences I encountered during my visit to various countries which was also an important aspects of my post retirement planning.
I strongly feel that it is in the interest of every person to learn spiritualism at early stage of life and implement the same in his or her life style and I have covered this in first chapter of this book in a most simple and interesting manner considering my own experience.
Spiritualism and planning life post retirement are complimentary to each other and your post retirement planning can never give you a fully joyful and blissful life without a strong spiritual base.
I decided to share this self experience by writing this book which I hope you will find interesting, inspiring and a food for thought for those planning retirement from work as well as for those who have already retired.
