Once upon a time, a great sage had come to a village. Everyone used to come to him with their difficulties and problems. He used to guide everyone properly. One day a sad looking person came to that monk's ashram to see him. He asked that monk a special question; “Gurudev, I want to know what is the secret of being happy forever?

Sadhu Maharaj remained silent for a while and then said “You come with me. Today I will tell you the secret of being happy. Sadhu Maharaj and that person started walking towards the forest. The monk picked up a big stone and said to the man 'Hold it and walk. The man picked up the stone and started walking with the sage.

After a while, that person started having pain in his hand and said to the monk, Maharaj, how long will I have to carry this stone. Maharaj said, keep walking now. When a lot of time passed while walking and the pain from that person could not be tolerated, then said Maharaj, now the pain is not being tolerated. The monk said, "Okay, now put this stone down." The man felt great relief on keeping the stone down. Then the sage said, "This is the secret of being happy." Guruvar, I do not understand" said that person?

The sage said, “Keeping this stone in hand for 1 minute causes slight pain and if kept in hand for 1 hour, it causes slight more pain and if you keep it for more time, the pain will increase. In the same way, the longer we carry the burden of sorrows, the longer we will be sad and disappointed. It depends on us whether we carry the burden of sorrows for 1 minute or it for a lifetime. If you want to be happy, then learn to put down this stone of sorrow as soon as possible and if possible, do not pick it up at all.
Sorrows are also like a burden in our life. Whenever and as much as we keep remembering the sad memories of our past, we will keep getting sad. Sorrows keep sitting inside the soul in our mind and keep making us sad. That's why remove useless things from your mind. Stop thinking negative about things otherwise these negative thoughts will keep coming in your mind and you will keep feeling sad with this weight. When you remove this sorrow from inside you, then you will always keep the light on and remain in bliss.
