Needs Vs. Wants
God took pity on him and appeared before him. He told him to ask what he wanted.
The man was overjoyed and said that he was a landlord and had lost all his wealth and that he wished to become wealthy again.
God took pity on him and said that the following day, if the man ran from dawn to dusk, all the area covered by him would be his.
The Man was extremely happy.
The next day he started running even before dawn.
He ran as fast as he could.
Close to noon, hunger beckoned but he did not pay heed and kept running.
Early in the evening, thirst and fatigue gripped him but he was goaded on by the thought of the neighbouring landlord who owned many acres of land. Pictures of all his wealthy contemporaries came to him and he ran on.
A little before sunset, he felt giddy and weak but managed a few more steps.
At twilight, he faltered…and fell dead.
Most of the time in life, we feel tired and dissatisfied. This is because we are running behind our wants instead of our needs. We have been sent with enough energy to fulfill our needs. We don't need any more energy. If we stick to our needs alone, we will not have any problem. But what we do is, we develop many wants from what we see around us. We borrow all the desires of our friends, neighbours, relatives and make them our wants.
People
ask
me,
"Swamiji
what
about
our
aspirations
in
our
career?
Is
that
also
borrowed?" No,
that
is
alright.
In
your
career,
as
long
as
you
don't
run
because
some
one
else
is
running,
it
is
alright!
That
is
the
difference
I
am
trying
to
show
you.
Run
with
yourself,
never
with
others.
Try
to
better
yourself
every
day
with
respect
to
your
own
performance
the
previous
day.
That
will
keep
you
immersed
in
your
needs
instead
of
in
your
wants.
Be Blissful!
