Kumar’s Anger- In a story – The secret of Happiness.
I was much annoyed and full of anger While driving my car on the Walkan mountains, that evening, I remember that day. I was pronounced with such words which otherwise, nobody has ever dare to speak with me and that too for blaming me, only for the utter failure of loosing the tender, which my Boos, Mr. Hardy Thomas, always wanted to win.
Mr Thomas was otherwise used to be very Polite and gentle in the office but what went wrong, I was trying to find what made Mr. Thomas to bash my identity for the failure of not winning that Tender. He blamed my working, my strategies and even challenged my devotion, which otherwise he never did since the Time, I Joined Steel grid Industries.
The five years spend while working in Steel grid industries were really enjoyed by me until that blatant day which came in my life. That day, I suppose, I felt as I was mentally drained in the meeting.
I still remember, I felt as I was targeted, as the result of the tenders is never in our hand, hence their win or loss was inevitable and taken as the Part of the Job. Then what for I was treated harshly by Mr. Thomas hardy?
Kumar’s visit to Johns coffee Shop- In a story – The secret of Happiness.
I wanted to go to Johns coffee shop, just to spend some time, just to talk to him so that, his casual smile may make me feel easy. I know, I was trying to forget the happening of the days work. I was very much clear that, I never wanted to move to my home, as occasionally, I did. I was like fearing to be alone in my loneliness, hence wanted to move within the traffic, to make me realize that I was not alone or aloof, as otherwise, the case would have been when I would have moved to my home.
Hey Kumar, how are you, a booming voice of John make me realized that, I have reached my destination. I parked my car and moved out with a smile. I was trying my best to hide reality from Johns. All is fine John, say about yourself, I reverted him. Kumar, you are looking tired, I seem. Just your face, is revealing, I suppose, John asked me?

Yeah, lot of pending works list provided by my boss, may be a reason for that, while I personally feel, I am alright, I reverted again trying my level best to keep my smile. Just coming right away from my office, I further added, as a supportive answer to hide my actuality of my outward experience.
Johns made a signal to Jenny (Johns wife) to replace him from the counter while carrying on their evening task of providing coffee and snacks to the other various customers of the shop and I saw John himself coming with a Tray of my snacks and my favorite cappuccino. Kumar, Swamiji is coming today, I will like you to meet him, once, John told me, while forwarding the tray.
Swamiji’s at entrance – In a story – The secret of Happiness.
Who Swami ji, I interrogated? A man who has changed my life, Johns, eyes were like sparkling while making mention of Swami ji. I wanted to denounce the very concept of believing in any Swami ji, but hardly I could do that because the affectionate pursuance of Johns could not be negated by me. I reverted with a positive gesture.
Moreover, somewhere I also wanted to learn that how John could manage a vibrant energy all the way long with that welcoming smile to all his customers, which I never noticed of being faded away. How could Johns very Persona carried an affection and off course that Potent energy, which often I noticed was all the same in the Night hours, which probably, I have noticed in the hazy mornings, also.
Swami ji’s Persona – In a story – The secret of Happiness.
It was not much time spend while I was trying to concentrate on the magazines in the Johns coffee shop, that a man in saffron Shawl and dhoti entered the coffee shop. I cannot forget that first sight of Swamiji, His beaming face, his glittering forehead and that glaring eyes. The shoulders and the chest making you realise the masculine power endowed in his simplicity. Johns hastened to touch his feet while Jenny following her. Swamiji, I saw clutched both of them and reverted with how are you my beautiful children’s, God Bless you, and all.
I remember, that it was not only me but almost every one of us in Johns coffee shop who were endlessly seeing Swamiji. What was charming about Swamiji, I questioned myself which was acting like a magnetic field drawing everybody’s attention Probably his appearance or his entire persona carrying him with utter simplicity, the questions like relentlessly rippling in my mind until, Swamiji raised his voice and Told Enjoy, enjoy we are all meant to enjoy on this Planet.
Not leave any moment get away simply without enjoying it. These are very precious and divine and hence you all perpetuate to live in Bliss as wonderful living beings. I still remember those words which like they put me on a very different note. I was feeling energetic.

Soon Swamiji vanished on towards the back side of the Johns coffee shop swaying his both the hands to the people, rhythmically moving his both hands upwards to the sky, while Swamiji continuing his words Enjoy , enjoy .John took me on the backside of the restaurant, where he has gardened flowering Plants of Lilly, rose and many other floral plants, along with a Banyan Tree in the middle area of the available land.
I saw Swamiji siting over there, beneath the Banyan Tree. I was very impatient to talk to him, I suppose, but any how wanted to maintain my composure of showing that I was literate and helped myself to not bent down to his feet’s, like John.
My friend Kumar, John introduced me to Swamiji. Swamiji looked me with those sparkling eyes while his face maintaining the versatile glow, I remember. He was smiling, come my boy, come near me, he unfolded his hands. He stood up and clutched me, saying how are you doing Kumar.
The very touch of his body like infused me with what I can narrate as an intense energy. Putting his hands on my hairs while his fingers like searching for something, his gentle feel made me remember of my mother’s touch.
Swamiji’s Persona – In a story – The secret of Happiness.
Everything will be alright, Kumar. Why are you worrying unnecessarily, what has alienated you from feeling Joy and happiness, he murmured while still his gentle fingers relentlessly making their findings from my hairs, I suppose. Nothing, Swamiji, just came to Johns coffee shop, from my office, I still maintained my postures.
Good to hear, always visit your friends when you are in need of them but express yourself, to those whom you want to express, don’t try to hide your individuality, your inner expressions. Be you what you are. Don’t try to provide the postures of what you are not, he replied.
I was astonished on the comments of Swamiji. While John was still noticing my face. Yeah, you are very true Swamiji, but some time your revelations pose you, as a weak person and are often misjudged by the people. I still maintained what I have read and followed all the way in my life, in past. Swamiji, swayed his hands and asked me to sit near him, while Johns hastened back to coffee shop, as Jenny called him.
Swamiji’s dialect with Kumar – In a story – The secret of Happiness.
Swamiji smiled again and said Just stop fearing, as nothing can harm you, rather it’s only the fear which we carry all the way in our life that what others will think off and unenticingly we gradually go on compromising with what actual is needed by us and all, simultaneously losing are true identity.
Kumar is your Physical identity of this body, your parents have provided you with, but what about the identity of your soul, which is provided by that Almighty, that innate energy? It has perhaps no identity other than its residing in you, off which you are almost unaware off. Swamiji, continued.
You have ever since your self-consciousness tried to make people aware of your Physical structure and do what they like and what they don’t to bring you, the fame, respect, love etc. what you have desired for from your physical existence but what the one who is living inside you, the one which the Almighty has provided you, with?.
Swamiji explains Self-realisation In a story – The secret of Happiness.
Swamiji compassionately was delivering his words with that incessant smile. Have you greeted your soul any day, have you ever asked him about his liking’s, have your ever tried for him to make him enjoy? To feel him joyous? Swamiji was delivering his words which were echoing in my heart. Obviously, we don’t even care to feel the existence of the soul or count it as we have to make our soul happy, though we all know that this soul within us will live in permanence till, we delipidate.
As we don’t even recognize it more than an energy keeping us alive, we hardly care for it, because we believe that it has to pursue our living without even, we maintaining any duty towards it. Rather we keep on trying to make our approaches and put our all energies to make happy those who are basically not our part or you can say they who live in out-world, of yours.
Just focus on yourself, be with your soul, realize its presence, love it and enjoy its presence within you. Always try that we have to make our soul happy and then comes any other thing. I was confused on listening Swamiji’s dialect and hence asked him but how can I know what will makes soul, happy and how can I keep him Happy? Just talk to yourself in silence.
Swamiji’s reveals the practical aspect of Self- realization.
Sit in silence, your soul will reveal everything but surely will take some time to reveal as you have spent many years unhearing him. Try closing your eyes in the silence of the morning or during the sunset time.
Start taking deep breaths and make your senses to call within yourself with due respect and love, you will certainly meet him. Its only within you. Don’t get afraid what the outer world will say, start staying with your souls, realizing it, its presence, cherish his closeness. He will guide you entirely through your life. But don’t ever distant from him.
This is only the path to self-realization, your path to endless joy. Your path where nothing will fear you, Swamiji, replied.
Kumar’s interrogation about worldly pleasures in a story – The secret of Happiness.
Then what about my office works and those worldly duties which, I have to perform, I interrogated Swamiji? Continue them as your part of life, your duties without indulging your utter emotions towards them. Or else they will deprive you of your innate Joy. Because these worldly pleasures and elements keep on changing, they will try to distract your initial moments but once when have realized the presence of that innate energy within you, nothing will stop you to become Joyous.
Swamiji, further told me that don’t get detached from the out-world also but realize the truth of its flakiness and at the same time the truth of your existence, your true love. It’s very simple.
Kumar’s realizes the Truth of Self-realization – The secret of Happiness.
I noticed myself, taking deep breadths while my hands touching the feet of Swamiji. I was like numbed of listening that what the hell of the mistake, I have done. Even not greeted my Soul, as a guest within me. Swamiji, revealed don’t be guilty my child innocence is not counted in Almighty’s book.
The words like showered me with Bliss. I relentlessly continued taking deep breadths and trying hard to find someone to greet within me. Swamiji, Can I visit with Johns to your cottage, you can visit me any time, whenever you like my child. I am there for you.
I was like on the top of sky, I remember. Everything was like inviting me for love. The evening was shaping in the night while I was admiring the Sky with my eyes just searching for the love from it, those lovely birds flying, like their chirping was full of melody, which I never ever noticed in my past.
What had happened to me at that time, I have no words to narrate it better I just know that even the thought that some divine is living along with you, for me only, that very realization turned the magic. I remember, that since that day, I have never been in any of the mental trauma, or feeling low, I don’t even know what does feeling low, symbolizes, since then.
Kumar’s revelation in a story – The secret of Happiness.
One thing more which, I want to reveal is that on the very next day, I entered my office, after meditating, as Swamiji, told. I greeted Mr. Hardy, with very Good morning, Mr. Hardy uttered, to forget the last day meeting moments in front of my office Staff, he added that he was very sorry for the Past day, but, Soon , I clutched him and told him, nothing to say sorry Boss, All is right, we have still many opportunities and many more to do than what we have done in Past. So, lets continue without any embracement.
One thing that has entirely changed my life as people say and reckon, is my living in persistent Joy. No fears and no worries. I don’t miss any chance to talk within me to realize myself and off course that mediation continues for 45 minutes in morning and prolonged sessions on my holidays.
It has certainly changed my vision of life. I have no regrets, no fire against anybody but a persistent Joy within me which surely enables me to perform my duties to this world. The utter happiness is showering since then, in my life and off course, innate Joy always keeping me in Bliss.
but what about you? Have you started with your knowing of your soul and more importantly with meditation?
