“Yogi Uvach” – Solutions or Life Problems

Story 3

Swami Anand Jee was cleaning the Temple and nearby area, 

It was always stay's messy due to parties of a few bad people in the village. Those who always create trouble to the villagers, they loot the local small vendors & buy liquor & drink it by sitting on the hill nearby the temple, they also spit there, throw the garbage & eatables & then went down to their home.

Everyday Swami Anand Jee was cleaning all the mess they have done, villagers who come to the temple for worshiping seeing Swamijees activities daily.

They always ask Swamijee to not clean those people's mess, but Swamiji was doing it every day constantly without hesitating it.

Those bad guys from the village find every day the place neat & clean, So, one day one of the Guy comes to Swamijee he was drunk & not in his sense but still, he came walking towards Swamiji.

Swami Anand was sitting in his regular place doing preparation of tomorrow's rituals, he haves some buds of Rose.

And that Drunk Guy naming Laxman came to Swamijee others was enjoying their Liquor & smiling by looking after their friend creating trouble for Swami Anand., Swamijee Knows every person in the town it may be Good or Bad, he knows that Laxman was also a farmer but due to bad people company he loses his concentration on work & due to habitual alcoholic he is losing his life connection.

That drunk guy came near Swamijee, That Guy was totally drunk & stinking very badly, Swamijee looks after him and then again, he gets busy with his Garlands making for Pooja without speaking a word with him, but he decided to stay calm & in listening mode. So, he can speak to him & know what he wants from him.

Drunk Guy:  Namaskar Swamiji!

Swami Anand: Namaskar, do you want anything, water or something to eat!

Drunk Guy: he felt astonishing, because no one talked with them In such a good language, or offered something even their family members was not talking with them.

Drunk Guy: Swamijee We mess this place every day & you clean this up, do you feel we are troubling you

Swami Anand: No, I like cleaning & it’s important because, Many people are coming to worship God, and if they found this hill messy and dirty, they can’t concentrate on Rituals, also it is not good for the people’s health who are coming to visit the temple every day, And I have to leave hear every day that’s why I clean all area.

He feels not agreed with Swamijees Good words because he was not used to it.

Drunk Guy: But still what you get by doing this all.

Swami Anand: I Get that what you get from Drinking Alcohol & is called happiness, but my happiness gives me in return a Good health & people service, do you know what it gives to you!

Drunk Guy: Yes it gives a heavenly pleasure to us, do you want to try.

Swami Anand: See, Son, do you really think drinking alcohol is giving you lifelong pleasure, which is not true happiness because that habit one day can make you so much sick

Drunk Guy: What’s are you talking about, what is true happiness.

Swami Anand: See, true happiness is that which stays long & it gives good in return to us, my cleaning this hill gives a Health & Happiness to me while cleaning your mess I feel like working out which gives me healthy exercise & hygiene environment, also the other people visiting temple also gets the fresh environment for their health, ok tell me what you are really getting after drinking the Alcohol, do you feel what next day when you wake up after drinking it.

Drunk Guy: No Swamijee our every day was bad from start, we have a Sevier headache & for that, we again drink the alcohol, even our family don’t give us anything to eat, and our stomach starts paining, then we steal food from street vendors, sometimes they beat us, throw stones on us, again it gives us pain, then we make some money by doing small work if somebody gives us then we again buy the alcohol & drink it in the evening, that our routine, its pain full, life is not fair.

Swami Anand: Life is not fair for you because you are not happy with it due to your daily actions, what we do every day makes our fortune.

Now that Drunk guy now lost his alcohol effect & came into the real world after stretching his brain.

Drunk Guy: What is that, do you tell me how I can be happy? Do you have any solution?

Swami Anand: See, “Laxman“, Son, I don’t know whether you are in a state of listening to me or not, but I think you must leave this bad people company, you are a good man, I know your family, they are struggling hard to earn a livelihood for them. your wife works hard on your own farm as well on people's farms. She earns money to feed you and your kids. If you really want to make yourself happy, ask your family what they want you to do. If you act to make your family happy you will automatically feel happiness. And if you keeping what you are doing regularly this drinking & troubling then how you can become happy, one day you will dye as an unhappy man? Ask yourself what you really want to become because whatever you do daily it makes you that.

Drunk Guy: Oh, Swamijee you know my name! nobody calls me Laxman everybody forgets me, they only call me a Drunk Mam, and then I become very angry, you are the one who knows me well, and who treated me well, I will think about what you told me today?

Then “Laxman” bows in front of Swamiji says “Pranam” & then without seeing his friends sitting there he turns his back towards them and started walking towards the village.

His other drunk friends call him any time, but he doesn’t give attention to them, he went to his home, next day swami jee don’t see Laxman with those peoples, and day by day those people stopped coming to the hill for drinking.

After Several months went and, one-day swami Anand Was doing his regular cleaning, he found that Laxman & his friends were coming towards Swami Jee, they have big bags on their back & they were walking towards Swamiji.

Laxman: Namaskar Swami Jee !

Swami Anand: Namaskar Laxman, what happened you guys are not coming to the hill from several months is everything all right!

Laxman: Thank you Swamijee for Asking about us, it’s really your goodness & blessings that we all peoples life is all right, the day when you told me to ask my family what they want me to do so I can make them happy then they just ask me to quit drinking & staying healthy. Then I thought that whole night about my life, my bad behaviors with people, my bad habits, then from next day I decided to quit drinking & started working in my field, my friends come to meet me to offer drinking alcohol, It was really hard to leave any habit, but I determine with myself &  told them clearly that I will not drink it anymore I want to make my family happy, and I also told my friends to ask their family what they want to do if they want to see them happy, and from that day we all have quit drinking & started working in our field with the support of our family members, we work very hard & this year we have a very good crop, and we have brought Gifts for you, it’s our first Grain crop for you, there is Wheat, there is Rice, there are some vegetables.

Swami Anand: Laxman, I am very happy for you people that you understand & choose the correct path, now I want you to do something for people, instead of offering this grains & other things to me, I want you to offer it to the needy people in the village you make a Food out of this all & give it to poor people in our village, that will be the best gift for me by you people.

Laxman & other people along with their family prepaid Food & offer it as a “Bhandara” by them for poor people in town. When they found that after eating food given by them, those poor people were giving blessings to their family, they all feel worm & their families proud of them.

Their kids were also seeing it Laxman Son come forward & hug his father & says PAPA I proud on you, after hearing his sons’ words Laxman started feeling worm.

That day all those people who were bad guys at some time were feeling the utmost most happiness ever they got in their life.

Swami Anand Jee was also happy by looking at the good work those peoples,

It’s true happiness if we change our actions into good work & for the well-being of our family & benefiting others by our selfless contribution and when we do that it is the truly happy day in our life.
