What is FAME

What is FAME?

It was a bright sunny morning in Calcutta (now Kolkata) when a middle aged man dressed up like a shredded beggar with mismanaged hair with his dress tattered from places one too many, boarded a bus . He sat almost next to a very well-dressed man , all sobered up with suit-boot. Right behind him was sitting a man in his late 40's dressed up in traditional Bengali clothes and was a re
ading a novel very seriously and smoking profusely hardly aware that the ashes he is shedding off were falling on the gentleman's clothes and boots since long. All of a sudden the gentleman started yelling at the smoker "you smoker do you know what you have done , I am going to beat the hell out of you"The smoker responded "I am really sorry sir ,I was so engrossed in reading this novel that I forgot what was happening "The gentleman responded "You idiot ,you think you can fool me , instead of accepting your mistake you are blaming your mistake on a NOVEL" and proceeded to bash him , the smoker at once responded " sir , pls believe me you have to read it to believe it , this novel written by SHARATCHANDRA CHATTERJEE is just so brilliant " .. The shredded beggar looking man who was silently overhearing this conversation at once got up and intruded the fight " said " dear sir pls don't beat this man for the fault I have done , I am your offender punish me " gentleman retorted " WHAT?? Are you mad, why will I beat you ? " shredded man responded " No sir , you don't understand , this Novel belongs to me , I am the writer , hence I deserve to be punished. I will also pay for the damages happened"................... The novel fell down from the hands, the gentleman shocked , the passengers awe-struck as if time had stopped... The shredded man boarded off the bus and vanished in the local Calcutta crowd!!!

Haah...that's FAME!!

A Piece - of PEACE


A Piece - of PEACE
Non-completion of the most important task of your past life grants you the unwanted gift to mark your presence in any living form in the mortal world AND since the moment you are here you are always looking for something….Consciously, unconsciously OR Sub-consciously you are looking for it.
Be it the day you are born and you see unknown faces flocking around you OR the day you are circumcised OR the day your sacred thread ceremony takes place.
Be it the first day of your school OR the first time you are punished OR the first time you failed in your examination.
Be it the last day of your school OR the first day of your college OR the last day of your bachelorhood…….. Believe me friends we are all looking for it………
Maybe the first day of your married life makes you long for it more OR the corresponding years…
You maybe a multi millionaire or a shredded beggar, a priest or a Satan, a Spiritual practitioner or a Mantra practitioner..
You can be anyone but the desire is the same….
YES, we all are consciously, unconsciously OR Sub-consciously looking for it.
Looking for what-- is the question?
Answer- Looking for PEACE… Just a Piece of it…. Just… a Piece.. of PEACE would suffice….
Believe me folks we all look for it our entire life, some know it some don’t …. You are Ready to trample and pound over anything just to grab a handful of it, sometimes trying to steal it, leese it, borrow it or rent it...BUT never even managing to get anywhere near it…
Having established the fact that man’s search/desire for Peace is never ending…just a Piece of it perhaps…we can safely assume that Man gradually ponders over the various avenues available to him where he can locate it… or at least he hopes he can…
This hunt makes him switch from one avenue to another then another….then another…so on and so forth…. I am sure I needn’t mention the success rate….
This everlasting adventure takes him almost everywhere, makes him spend a fortune after it , for a moment making him feel… BINGO!!! I have finally got it!!! he shouts jumping with melancholy… of course it’s a mirage... sooner he returns with a frown bigger than before….
It is but of-course because of this desperate search Man has goose–stepped into more graver problems seldom finding a solution.
This may sound disturbing but Man finishes his entire life and does not locate its slightest whereabouts so much so that he wishes to believe that there is no such thing as PEACE. He not only believes but he also starts preaching others the same.
BUT my dear friends if you haven’t seen GOD that does not mean it is non-existent.
Maybe you haven’t looked hard enough, maybe you haven’t searched at the right place, maybe you don’t have the right GUIDE, maybe you don’t have full faith in your GUIDE.
Folks, IF you have the quest of seeking Peace which I am sure every human being has, it’s a different case if he is deaf towards the voice of his conscience, one has to follow only a simple formula..
Simple yet difficult in its own way….
Formula:-
1.    Develop a strong and deep desire of finding the right Guide and you shall locate one day.
2.    Once you find him pay him only one thing as his fees... YOUR TRUST...
There is a very famous saying “Two roads diverged to the woods; I chose the one less travelled by…”
For it is amongst these two roads we need to choose from to attain our goal, a wrong choice would lead you to the same misadventures time and again not only in this birth but in the corresponding ones too…
It is only a few lucky souls who have the unflinching zeal within them to search the source of Peace (some have it inbuilt some develop it with time) but those who have it are sure to locate the right guide one day. It is only important to keep your head free from the conventional theories and beliefs of the common man, because the Truth is very Simple and man has complicated it more and more with time, for his own benefits at times…
Once you locate him pay him only your Trust and be rest assured you will manage to discover not only Peace which is just a byproduct of what you are about to witness..which is Innumerous times more than JUST Peace..
Then PEACE would just appear to be a PIECE of it……
May you all find the true GUIDE, those who don’t want to, may have the desire to.. God Bless!!
N:B-What is the most important task of your past life which grants you the unwanted gift of this material world?
