A business man called Frederic travelled all the world searching the answer for the emptiness he felt very deep inside him. One day he heard about a wise man that live at the top of a mountain. He made the arrangements to meet the guru. Once, he arrived to the place, he started to climb to the mountain to reach the top and ask the questions that had in his mind for many years and still searching for the answers that will soothe his soul. Frederic greeted the guru known as Sri Aadhrya. He was living in the mountain for more than twenty years. Visited by politicians, actors and professionals. Frederic asked the guru if they return for a second consultation. The answer was a categorical no. Frederic was very surprised with the answer received. The guru asked Frederic what he wants to know. Frederic thought for many minutes the question he was going ask. With great security in him he make the question to the guru. Why I am not happy with myself? I am the CEO of a very important company, have a mansion as a house, a very expensive car, a wife that looks like a stunning model. However, I do not feel happy. Sadness is my secrete companion. The guru looked to Frederic at the eyes and said to him: an executive position, a wealthy status, a luxury car or a gorgeous partner not are synonyms of happiness. They are complements to your life. Annoyed with the answer, Frederic departed without saying goodbye. Ten years later, Frederic came back to the mountain to see the guru. When reached the most highest part of the mountain, he met the guru for a second time. The guru asked to Frederic how was his life during the last decade. Frederic without hesitating told to the guru that he discovered after visited him that happiness begins with you, but he did not found the way to return and tell the truth discovered until that day. The guru smiled, since Frederic was the first one to return back and accept the truth. The End Nayda Ivette 12-25-2015
