Burning Desire: The Story of Gopal and the Wise Monk
The Advice Of The Monk and Gopal's Journey To Making Money
Fuelling Unstoppable Ambition
In a small and silent village, under the shadow of a tall mountain, there lived a little young boy named Gopal Rao.
He had a heart full of dreams, and he was always obsessed with the idea of reaching them.
The life that Gopal aspired for was far more than what he had in his hand.
He aspired to be a millionaire and to have the key to success.
The Story of the Wise Monk
A wise monk lived on top of the mountain, they said, in the village.
According to the people of the village, the monk knew secrets about life and the universe.
All enthusiastic and with strong determination, Gopal made up his mind to take on the mountain.
He woke early, his heart racing with hope.
The way was rough and tough; Gopal showed no sign of giving up.
He was determined, and his mind focused.
The Journey to the Mountain Top
The sun was at its zenith when Gopal finally reached the serene monastery. The peace in the monastery took his breath away.
The monk was old with eyes that sparkled like stars, and he greeted the young man with a warm smile.
The monk welcomed in ritual, measured tones. “Welcome, my child.” “Why have you come to this still place?”
Gopal replied hastily: “Oh wise monk, I want the secret to earn more money. Please, show me the way!”
The Monk’s Lesson Begins
The Monk’s Lesson Begins
The monk glanced at Gopal with pity in his eyes.
He took Gopal to a little stream where the water glistened under sunlight.
The monk knelt by the stream and indicated Gopal to do the same
At one stroke, without uttering a single word, the monk grabbed him with both hands and pushed his head deep underwater.
Panic and Realization
Gopal was shocked. Suffocating, his world became terror and chaos. A slight panic filled his mind, and he had pain in his lungs.
His heart was pounding, and he scrambled for air.
The monk saved, got hold of the traveller just in time, and fetched him out.
Gopal fought for each breath he was able to inhale.
Still quite serene in his demeanour, the monk asked the boy, ” My child, what did you crave more than anything when you were underwater?”
“Air,” Gopal panted.
“I needed air. It felt like a part of me died when I stopped doing it….
The Monk’s Wisdom
The monk nodded. “That, Gopal, is the secret to achieving your dreams. “
“To succeed, you must want it as badly as you want air. Your desire must be as strong as your need for breath.”
Tears filled Gopal’s eyes as he understood the monk’s words.
He realized that success wasn’t just about money but about having a burning passion and an intense desire, just like the need for air.
The Journey Back Home
With a heart full of gratitude, Gopal left the monastery.
As he walked down the mountain, each step felt lighter.
Each breath felt more meaningful.
He promised to chase his dreams with the same intensity he felt underwater.
Over time, with hard work and a strong desire, Gopal turned his dreams into reality.
His life became proof that passion and determination can make anything possible.
The Essence of Desire
When Gopal asked the monk for the secret to making money, the monk unusually taught him by holding his head underwater.
This was a lesson about desire.
Let’s take a deeper look at what desire means.
Imagine the Situation
Imagine standing before a wise monk, eager to know the secrets of becoming wealthy.
You dream of having freedom, power, and success.
But instead of giving you a book full of tips, the monk does something surprising.
He pushes your head into the water!
At that moment, everything else disappears.
You don’t think about luxury cars or expensive vacations.
You don’t worry about school or work.
All you want is air.
That’s all that matters.
The True Meaning of Desire
This is what the monk was teaching Gopal.
The desire we are talking about is not just a simple wish. It’s the kind of desire where everything else disappears.
All you can think about is the one thing you want, just like when you are underwater and can only think about breathing.
When you want something this badly, it becomes your focus.
It guides your actions and pushes you to work harder.
Just like the need for air, this type of focus is the key to reaching your goals.
