Guru Shishya #1

"Oh holy Guru" , said the shishya with his hands folded as the Guru sat under the holy Vruksha, "was life always supposed to be this hopeless?"

The guru who is an age old rishi opens an eye and winks at the shishya.

"I have always told you that desire is the chief cause of misery, oh dear shishya.What is it that is bothering you?"

"I am not able to find happiness in this world , oh master!"

"Dont desire happiness.It is very elusive.Just get off it.You will be happy".

"I tried that very hard master".

"You DESIRED (not to desire happiness).So you are miserable.
Dont follow the principle DESIRE IS THE CHIEF OF MISERY very rigidly.
If you DESIRE to follow that principle in order to lead a happy life, u r a mess.
It is very tricky."

"So how can I get it?"

"I will repeat it. Dont desire happiness.You will be happy".

Shishya is a shiny, happy man and walks away.
