Sudeep was a true businessman, he always thought about
his loss and profit, in which work he seemed profit, he did that work only; but
his son, named ‘Mohan’, was opposite of him.
From childhood, Mohan had keen interest in prayer and
worship of God; he always remained in search of God.
Mohan’s religious nature was the cause of Sudeep’s
tension; huge business and son was recluse. Explained very much, gave lust
of comfort and wealth; but Mohan’s heart always remained detached from earthly
pleasures. After renunciation from all the responsibilities, he wanted to go in
any peaceful and calm place to find God.
As Mohan
was young, his father did his marriage by thinking that leaving his family, Mohan
could have become a monk.
City’s
richest businessman’s beautiful daughter was married to Mohan, but then also Mohan’s
heart ran anywhere else.
One
night, leaving all his responsibilities, Mohan went away from home. He went to all
pilgrims, temples, piers and everywhere in search of God, but then also he
didn’t find God. All places were filled with earthly pleasures.
Then
he decided to do meditation, so he went to dense Jungle of Himalayas. While
reaching there he saw one Musk Deer, he observed it carefully for some moments.
Musk Deer
has one gland near its navel from which intense smell comes out but Musk Deer
is unaware of this fact, so it goes here and there, smells plants and flowers
in search of that smell but it doesn’t find that smell which comes from inside
of it. It spends its whole life in search of that smell but doesn’t achieve
anything.
Mohan
thought- Hopefully! That Musk Deer should search peacefully in itself so that it
would not need to wander here and there. I should tell him this thing.
Mohan
as soon stepped towards it, Musk Deer ran away in fear of any danger.
By
seeing this, Mohan understood- My situation is same as that of Musk Deer; I’m also
wandering here and there in search of God, whereas God resides inside me. If
someone explained to me about God, then I didn’t listen. Running away from my
responsibilities, I’m searching that thing which is inside me.
That
day Mohan realised his mistake and went back home happily. Then he began to take
his responsibilities with full honesty and loyalty.
Dear
friends, Sometimes we are also interested in search of God, but remember that
God resides in our true work. We should do our work regularly with enthusiasm;
this is above all worship, prayer, and also loveable to God. Thank You.
