The material pleasure

A group of red-tailed tropicbirds are travelling lengthy distances of roughly 10 hours in search of food by freely flying from sea to island, one island to the other. Without disturbing the birds while walking on a sandy beach, Kalyan has an idea and chooses to embark on a brief vacation lasting ten to fifteen days, visiting all local sites to find what he is really looking for.

He is a firm believer in the adage that "life is change, and change is life." He wishes to adapt to the new situation. He only has two, three pairs of clothes, a small kettle, and a handful of books in his suitcase; he wants to spend his time for the least amount of money possible and get out of his comfort zone. His father is disappointed with his simple trip, insists him to take at least his brand new mobile phone along with him. Kalyan take the phone on one condition that no one has to call him, he himself will call his when there is a need. He messages about his trip in the friends group, with all thumbs up he starts his trip. They suggest various places, different rout maps, Kalyan doesn't want to rush in his journey, he work on his schedule to experience through life.

He starts his two-wheeler parked near a Mercedes-Benz automobile from his sky-touching house. Travel through the thick forest and mountains, into the city, and along the seaside route. He eats breakfast at his favorite restaurant, and this time he tries a new dish.

It pours a trickle of rain on him as a sign of God's encouragement for him. He raises his head to greet each raindrop, and those that do not make it to his head find their way to his heart. He savors every raindrop with all his heart. He is in true happiness by going with nature, without the need for fake beauty, luxurious cars, or complicated attire.

The bus is swaying on the uneven and unmaintained roads, and a hot, dusty air is passing through. A middle aged who is sitting beside him smiled at him as a gesture of wishing him, it is a bit hotter here in May and June months every year. He seems enlighten, his personal attire is simple but his accent and way of communication has a unique style.

"I am Kalyan, I come here explore this place, do you live here?" Kalyan has a doubt about his background.

"I am Rajeswarrao, I am a doctor, I have a clinic and my house in the next village. I go often to nearby town. this area is well known to me, where exactly you want to go?" Rajeswarrao enquires.

"My journey is long lasting, and no specific destination for it. I want to see a person who saw God in his life time "Kalyan replays to the question.

Rajeswarrao controls himself to not laugh at Kalyan." In my opinion no one has seen the God, it is waste of time, you are looking very young, you go back and continue your education". Rajeshwarrao asks him to go back.

"I am actually searching for myself, I have dream of going out of my bungalow as a single hire of a large estate, when I was five years old I got a chance to go out for school later go to college, nowhere I got the true belongingness. I tried to find out the satisfaction in book, gardening, painting but nothing could help me find myself. I lost myself in this huge universe, I want to meet myself, I do not know where and how. I want to find myself in the searching of God, a person who interact with God would definitely make my way easy. I know if I find myself, my real adores, meaning for my search then I will know my destination. " Kalyan explains his pain.

"I am fifty years old and have met a variety of people in many fields; today I meet you and have a fresh experience as a result of meeting you; by the way, please let me know when you have attained your end goal." He hands over his business card and takes a step down at his destination.

It's the bus's final stop, and all of the passengers have paid to get off. There is no other option for Kalyan than to get off the bus.

Under a banyan tree, a gigantic personality who is close to God is seated. No one dares to sit near the tree because of his long hair, filthy clothes, and foul odour. His face has an undefined shine to it, causing Kalyan to approach him. Kalyan's actions astounded all around him. Saint closed his eyes, into his deep meditation.

Kalyan sit beside him, see the watch again and again. After some time, he is in irritation, stand up and started a short walking in front of him. The saint opens his eyes after five hours of waiting, smiles at Kalyan as if he knows him previously.

You're on the correct track, but you're not yet ready to achieve your goal; you're still a youngster preoccupied with material desires. You have a desire for physical pleasure, but the enjoyment has a limit, therefore you keep raising your expectations one by one. If you truly want to know yourself, you need let go of your material desires.

"If I want to serve the people, I can do so as a regular citizen, but if I am in a position of power, I can serve a much larger number of people. In this scenario, the desire to be in a higher position is the motivation. It is not the same scenario for everyone; some people would lose their true purpose in life after achieving a higher position, and they will become slaves to their position rather than their life goals. We can't conclude that material desires are bad simply by looking at those who claim to be working to serve the people rather than for a position but aren't sincere inside." Kalyans ideas are as fast as a bullet changing from one point of view to the next.

A pair of six-year-old twins, who look alike, think alike, and have similar tastes, are battling over a single doll near them.

I was born at a period when everyone is busy looking for pleasure, when people are looking for a better society, a better place to live, and I have been looking since I was a youngster, so please tell me where I may find true joy." Kalyan continues to share his thoughts.

Few people love themselves; some have strong bonds with their families; some will go to great pains for their loved ones; but true love is love for God. If you devote your devotion to God, you will find the answer to your search sooner.

"What is love of God if we don't look at the people around us, forget the misery, fail to halt the fighting in front of our eyes, ignore the starving people, and are preoccupied with prayers and warships?" Kalyan is in a pickle.

Drizzling begins near them, and a bus to a nearby city stops in front of him; the saint grins and says, "Whatever you see with your eyes is not the truth; you will realise the love for God when the time comes." This is your final busy for the day; continue on, never stopping until you find the actual meaning of your search."

Kalyan enters the bus, unaware of his destination but aware of his journey; the road is narrow, the way is unclear, and only the nearby route is visible. On both sides of the road, rice fields are well-cropped.

A group of students, all of the same age as Kalyan, are thrilled because their final examinations have just been completed. The others are absorbed in the show, laughing loudly and making fun of the passengers while one of them is imitating a movie star. When the bus is stuck in traffic in a small town, a coconut tender chops the coconut while listening to music. A flower vendor offering lovely smelling flowers to lift everyone's spirits. Because traffic will take time to clear, passengers on the bus disembark one by one. Students who had previously caused a racket descend to attend a roadside puppet show. Kalyan is interested in the highest level of enjoyment and is not interested in eating, sleeping, drinking, or smoking. For him, higher-quality pleasure is far more important than a bigger quantity of lower-quality pleasure, yet finding that higher-quality pleasure is far more difficult.
