                        G baba, puchiye 

Baba - Aashan sa saval h beta, umeed hai jawab doge 

     “Hindu dharam ke parampara mai ek Gyani Vyakti ke kya-kya Visheshta hoti hai.”

Lakshya - Mere nazaroo mai to baba………..

               Gyani Vyakti Daan Veer Karan hai

 Jese gyani vyakti apne kam ko bina kisi swarth ke karta hai, jo dusro ko ek barabar smjhta ho , apne har mushkil ke samane daat ke khade rehe sath hi sath apne gyan, anubhav aur abhyas se dusro ki madat karta aur unko sahi marg dikhata hai.

   Btane ko to baba aur bahut kuch hai mere paas par kya kre waqat nhii hai ghar pai jana hai.

Baba lakshya ko rok kr kehte hai ki “zara samay dekho waqat ka ek kata bhi nhii hila hai”

Baba - Prashn ka to sahi utar diya tmne iske fal swaroop mai tmhe ek vardaan de skta hu.

 Lakshya - (baba ko rok ke haste hua)

     Ku mazak krte hoo baba mai aj ke zamane ka hu 

Baba - Phle sawal to sunoo, agr maine tumhe tumhari zindagi ke 10 saal tumhare hisab se diye to usko kese jiyooge ye tumhare upar hai aur dusre jo tumne dil se

chaha hai wo tumhe aaj se 20 se 30 saal baad milega, par uske liye tmhe ek kisaan ki tarah mehant krni hogi use

paane ke liye. Ab btao kya chunna chahoge tm.   

Lakshya - Obvious si baat hai mai to apni zindagi ke 10 saal apne hisab se jeena chahunga. 

                   Summary of Ten years 

Lakshya ek software engineer tha vo din rat baith kar ek software create krta hai jo share market ki duniya mai choop ke kam karta hai jisme vo companies ke profits ke badle unse 50% mangta tha pure company or profit ka, dekhte hi dekhte kuch hi saal mai, he was a multi millionaire aur kaano kan kisi ko khabar nhi parii. 

 ……… He shifted to Abroad and became an Industrialist.

He married and had a beautiful family of two twins, all things going good and happy days go on . After 8 years , He wanted to grow his empire so he made topgun friends and felt in trouble. On the same day he met Baba again while he was chased by the Gangsters who were trying to kill him. Baba helped him to escape from this dangerous situation but still he was shooted. So he was going to die so he asked Baba for help.

Lakshya - Baba meri madad kro.

Baba - Nhii, mai tumhari koi madad nahi kar sakta maine diye tumhe tumhari zindagi ke 10 saal tumhare hisab se jeene ke liye.

Lakshya - Mtlb, apne ye sb plan kra that mujhe marne ke liye vrna meri aj esi moot nhi hoti………..

 Vese bhi koi nhiii, ‘maine apne parivaar ke liye bahut paise aur provertires chor diye hai‘ 

Baba - ( Screams ) Murkh balak,  socho thmri ye halat hai to vo log tmhre parivaar ki kya halaat krege.

            [ Baba explains him the truth of his life ]

Agar tm us rat se apne talent ko achi jagah istmal krte to tm dheere hi sahi par kamayab jrur hote aur sahi trike se, jisme tumko yahi parivaar milta vahi bache milte tum aur aage jeet unke sath unke school se sadih tk hamesha khush aur santoust hote.

Lakshya  - meethak aur bichho ki kahani to apne sunni hi hogi app to gyani ho Baba, aaj ke logo ki fitrat bhi vhi hai to aage badhane ka yhi trika dikha mujhe maaf krna aj se m apki btai hui baato pai chaluga.

Baba -  ” Tathastu”

        [ They all make back to 25th december night ]

 Lakshya is standing in railway station platform no 1 near the set where he was taking to baba and the timing is also the same 11 : 20 pm but one thing is missing, The Baba himself.

Lakshya learned something new from Baba and applied it to his real life. After 10 years he became a Ceo of  Multinational company and he lived his life successfully and Ethically.
