A really really funny one!

Some 35+ yrs ago - guruji was in haridwar for the kumbh mela and he saw a naga baba sitting near the banks. So for some reason Big Boss decided to go and talk to him - and he went there and asked - baba could we discuss some knowledge please?
he haughtily looks at guruji and said - humpf! You??? What knowledge can you take??
Guruji smiled at him and said - thank you - I got it!
(He told us he learnt how never to be rude and stressed out like that naga baba)
And it doesn’t end - :D :D that person looked at G and said with great importance - you know what I can do?????????????
And Guruji said - no!
He said - I can - with a rope tied to my groin - pull a truck!
(And with this the whole hall burst out laughing :D)
And Guruji thought in his head at that time - what’s the use??? A truck can be started with a turn of the key!! What’s the point pulling it.. with your... well....

Two stories on how people are unhappy and don’t even realize and what is truly being free and happy!

It is said in one of the stories in Ramayana that a man once mercilessly beat a dog - and so the dog went to Ram for justice. The man was caught and Ram asked the dog - what punishment should I give him? The dog said - Make him a head of an ashram!
Ram found it very strange and asked why do you say that? The dog replied saying - I was one last life! I know what a punishment it is :D
The moral here was how people remain unhappy! Some think that being in this world is bondage and be unhappy! Others think they have renounced the world and yet remain unhappy! And it's even worse - because then you have followers!! And your followers won’t keep you at peace for sure :D

The next story was about how a man complained to a swamiji about how his children were no more paying attention to him and leaving him to do all the work and shouting at him etc etc. The swamiji felt compassionate and advised him - why don’t you come to my ashram? I will make sure you have food and shelter and you don’t need to work and when your kid’s wants to meet you let them come!
Suddenly the man got angry and started shouting at the swami saying - do want to break my family up??? What are you advising? I should move away? Who will take care of them etc etc
The swamiji got up and left.
The moral here was how people are unhappy and yet in that they find pleasure and not even aware they are stuck in this bondage!
