THE BILLOO AND THE BILL

Bill: - I am not feeling happy nowadays. I am feeling as if I have reached that point of life, where I have nothing to achieve. If I possess everything, then why am I not mentally satisfied? Something pinches within my heart, that I am missing that real sweetness of life.

Melinda: - You are growing older, dear. That’s why, you are thinking about your life in a very absurd way.

Bill: - No, I am not. Rather, I am exploring about the other aspects of life, where for the first time, I am not willing to take part in the rat race.

Melinda: - If you keep on talking like a mad person, then maybe, I will also go mad like you. Take my suggestion. Please consult with Dr. Arindam, the No.1 psychiatrist of California.

*******************

Dr. Arindam: - Sometimes these things happen in everybody’s life. There is nothing to worry about it. When you are working as a professional for years after years and gaining reputations, you feel like the King of your destiny. But after getting repeated successes, you start to feel within yourself that there is no challenge for you, there are no further avenues to explore. The life is so big, that if you keep on running after it for 100 years also, it is not enough to know every aspects of it.

Bill: - One of my friends, whose name is Bob, also faced a similar kind of problem. He resigned from all the respective posts in this company and went to India to join as a devotee of a Hindu Ashram. He now walks bare-footed and sings the hymns. Do I need to do the same to feel myself as a human being at this stage of my life?

Dr. Arindam: - Don’t follow the footsteps of your friend. I suggest you to go for a world tour for some days, especially, if you can visit India, then nothing can be better than that. If you get a chance, then go and meet Billoo Nagababa once. My friend, Suresh became his disciple and maybe, he has also become a great nagababa. I will be waiting to hear the conversation between “THE BILLOO AND THE BILL”, once you come back to USA after the India tour.

******************

Billoo: - You have come a long way from USA to a remote place of North India, to know the meaning of life. Ha ha ha…how funny? The biggest problem in your USA is that they never had any civilization at all.

Bill: - What role has civilization to play in defining the life of a human being?

Billoo: - You are wearing clothes, which will be at least worth 5000 bucks. You are one of the richest people of the world. But, are you really rich from inside? Look at me. I am completely nude. My hairs are like the trunks of an oak tree. I have beards too. There are lots of vermillion and holy strings in my body. Now, you should ask a question that despite being a nude person, I am happy, but you are not, though you are wearing rich clothes.

Bill: - Ok, if you want me to become nude like you, then I can bare all my clothes. If by being nude, I can become happy, then surely, I will do that.

Billoo: - I am not emphasizing on nudity, but on the spirituality of your soul. If your soul believes in the mantra of ‘Live and let live’, then it will never exhaust itself in the rat race to gain all materialistic comforts and reputations. Come with me. I will take to you to a nearby tribal village.

*******************

Bill: - Wow, these people have created your statue in this village?

Billoo: - I was a son of a reputed businessman of Jaunpur. Everything was there in our family, except love and respect. Only my mom used to behave like a human being. After her death, I left that house. I always hated my Hitler-type father, who knew nothing else than business. I came to this village and gave away all my valuable belongings to the villagers and joined the association of Naga Sadhus. People in this area regard me, just next to God and this village is my paradise only. Humans’ soul need to behave like humans only, otherwise, the human body has no value at all. Similarly, a society which has no civilization, is like a body with a robotic soul, that’s why, you people always come to India to learn the meaning of life.
