Chinna Katha 4

 

Once there lived a millionaire Zamindar Mallu Sigh. He had a huge estate. In his

estate he had a good number of parks, farms, farm houses, open lands, shops and

malls and so on… He hired Mr.Roopak to manage his entire estate. Mr.Roopak took

charge of the estate manger. He was managing the whole estate as if it were his

own. As the days passed by, Mr.Roopak made lots of money stealthily. He became

very important and influential in the entire area. He grew arrogant and egoistic

and even started ignoring and disrespecting the millionaire Mallu Singh.

 

At this stage what should be the action of Mr.Mallu over Mr.Roopak?

Mr.Mallu Singh had two options. Either he had to oust Mr.Roopak or surrender to

him.

 

Now Mr.Mallu Singh is our Buddhi and Mr.Roopak is our mind. Buddhi handed over

entire mundane affairs to the mind. Mind is behaving as if it were the owner of

the entire estate. It is the time to dismiss the mind. Attain the Amanaska

state.

" The horses (driving the chariot) are the sense organs and the materialistic

desires or things of interest are the paths it travels by. The wise ones call

the Jiva, which comprises of the body, the

mind and the sense organs as `Charioteer'. "
