Everyone is very fond of her. There are plenty of people who yearn for her everywhere and every time. The price they dared to pay for her visit was generous. Yet no one could see her.
She hangs out with babies for hours without anyone knowing. The others would be looking for her all over the town, not realizing that she was around them all the time.
They did everything to impress her - strong body, charming face, sweet speech, money, position, desire, luxury, power, knowledge, penance, time, effort, search, love... All! Occasionally, somewhere, someone would see that awesome lady.
In the midst of minds that forget the world for in-depth love, in the devotion that all that is seen is God, in the power to extend a hand of love to the unknown, in the liberation of those who feel that this too will pass... She was a little disoriented. When they forget their selves and do an congenial work, her fragrance leaves a trace on their breath. But the moment they come to present, her presence will become past.
The whole town was longing for her. But not impressed by any of them, she was clinging to the legs of the old man who was busy doing something with laser focus. A wise man was watching this every day.
All the people of the town begged and pleaded the wise man to find way to find her. The wise man agreed to share that enchanting tricks and said: "She does not live in a palatial palace. But she would hide where the nursery was. She doesn't stay in a fixed place. But she'll be in a perfect place. If you take two steps in search of her, she will take twenty steps from you. Without losing yourself, you can't reach her. So listen carefully to what I have to say – forget her and do what you like egoistically; She will forget her self and come back happily!"
As the wise man's subtle speech was not conciliatory, those with six senses but without using sixth sense have continued their quest for happiness.
Take Away:
No matter how much money is poured in, the mind that cannot be filled, when you forget yourself in your favourite work and get yourself immersed in it by doing it. This is the trick to find that eternal lady named "Happiness"!
Thank you.
