Swami Ghutghutananda:- Ha ha ha...let me just laugh at you. Boss, you are a famous CEO of a reputed MNC. You have got everything in your life. From BMW, Opel Astra, Mercedez to good family, good company and good bunglows, you have got everything, but still you are saying that you are not happy.
Gajanan:- Yes, believe me baba, I am not happy. I don't know the reason, why?
Hriday:- The same problem, I am also facing, baba. I am a well-known celebrity of this country. People are die-hard fans of my acting. Wherever I go , people just loves me like anything. They run after me for autographs, but still I am not happy.
Swami Ghutghutananda:- Very interesting case. All of you have money, honey, treasures and pleasures but still you are not happy. What about you, gentleman?
Arindam:- Well, baba, I am Arindam. I am not happy because my mind is totally directionless. I don't know, what for I have taken birth in this world? Please help me out.
Swami Ghutghutananda:- Surely, why not? When you people have come here for help, I will surely help you. Come with me. We will go to a nearby village.
Arindam:- My goodness, this is a tribal village. Here all the people are so poor. They are hardly wearing any clothes. They are living in huts. What for we have come here?
Swami Ghutghutananda:- Just look at them. They are just tribals. They don't know anything about education, outer world, corporate world, politics and other entertainment world like Bollywood or Hollywood. They don't have money or great bunglows. But, just look at them. They are smiling all the time. They are engrossed in their own little world.
Gajanan:- Baba, what are you trying to say? We are not understanding anything.
Hriday:- They are happy, that is their good luck. We are not happy, it is our bad luck.
Swami Ghutghutananda:- No the luck factor does not arise here. The problem is only you, you and you. From childhood, you dream big to become a big person, but when you achieve that, you forget the basics of life. You enter in a glamorous world, where plastic smile rules. There, people shows love and affection for some reasons only, it does not come from within. And, when you realize that, it becomes too late for you to come out from that world. Your celebrity status does not give you independence to dance like a little child in a lonely street, when there is a rainfall. If I tell you that you forgot to regard yourself as a simple common man, will you agree to it?
Gajanan:- What are you saying? We are common man? Boss, we are great celebrities. We are famous worldwide.
Swami Ghutghutananda:- But your soul is just a simple human being. Whatever you have achieved in your life, it is by capitalizing on your talents, that God has gifted you. Everyday, a top notch CEO to a dabbawala, everyone is running for earning money, but at the end of the day, they find themselves as a runner rather than a human being. Money, designation, power and prestige is not giving them peace, because their life has become too complex. They forgot to believe in their own character only. Look at a beggar in the street. He begs for money from you but you give him money to earn peace, and the beggar wishes you. You people feel insecure to utter proudly that you are just a common man. That is where your soul fails to achieve peace.
Arindam:- Ok, ok, we undesrtood, but what about my problem?
Swami Ghutghutananda:- Let life decide your life's direction. The more you will expect from life, the more you will get complex and as a net result, you will not attain peace. Dream about the clouds in the sky, but have your eyes on the ants of the earth. They will teach you the basics of life. We love sunshine and moonlight, but we forget the importance of twilight. Always remember that "SIMPLICITY IN YOUR CHARACTER MAKES YOUR LIFE SIMPLE".
Hriday:- But it is not an easy task to do. It is very easy to become a celebrity, but that much tough to remain as a common man.
Arindam:- Now, I understand why simple persons like Ramkrishna Paramhansadev and others only have been able to see the GOD. GOD resides in the hearts of simple common human being only.
