Sairam frenz,

 

Another lovely story...Happiness comes frm within urself...dun try

to search for it elsewhere...enjoy and take care.

 

 

I Want Happiness

 

A student goes to Mulla Nazaruddin, a Sufi master, with a bundle of

dresses, surrenders to him and says - O' divine master, I want peace, I want

happiness. The master looked at him. He has left his house with only

this bundle with him. Mulla slowly gets up snatches the bundle of dresses

and starts running. The student is surprised. "I came in search of

happiness and the master snatches my dresses and run away." The perplexed

student tells himself, "Let me at least get my dresses

back" and charges after him.

 

Mulla knows all the lanes of the town very well. He just appears and

disappears and the student is very unhappy at the loss of his

dresses. He was such unhappy. By coming to him, he has become more unhappy. He

keeps running behind Mulla. Mulla goes all round, comes back to his

original spot, keeps the bundle aside and innocently sits down.

 

The student comes running to him. Seeing this dangerous fellow,

first thing he does is to snatch his dresses. He is so happy that he has his

dresses back.

 

Mulla says - HERE IS HAPPINESS.

Please see, the student was unhappy when he came to Mulla. Mulla

just snatched the bundle and returned it back to him. The student was

happy that he had got back his dress. So what was the cause of happiness?

 

Logically it appears his happiness is because of the dress. But

then, this bundle was with him even before it was snatched away by the master.

Therefore where did the happiness come from, the dresses or from

somewhere else?

 

Happiness has come from within and it is not because of the dresses.

This is exactly how we feel in our life - that this object or that has given

us happiness.
