वहाँ बाहर या यहाँ:
एक बार एक रबी कुछ ढूंढ़ने के लिए गली में निकला। उसका एक पड़ोसी उधर से गुजरता है, जब उसने रबी को कुछ ढूंढते देखा। वह रुक गया और उससे पूछा कि क्या हुआ।रबी ने जवाब दिया, "मैंने अपनी चाबी खो दी है .."
पड़ोसी उसे लेकर चाबियां ढूंढने लगे। जल्द ही दो और पड़ोसी उनके साथ जुड़ गए लेकिन किसी को चाबी नहीं मिली।
आखिर में एक पड़ोसी ने पूछा, "तुमने इसे कहाँ गिराया?"
रबी ने उत्तर दिया, "ओह, मेरी चाबी यहाँ नहीं खोई थी।" फिर उसने अपने घर की ओर इशारा किया और कहा, "मैंने इसे वहीं अपने घर में खो दिया।"
सभी हैरान और हतप्रभ थे। उन्होंने आदरपूर्वक पूछा, "यदि तुमने इसे वहाँ खो दिया है तो तुम इसे यहाँ गली में क्यों ढूंढ रहे हो?"
रबी ने जवाब दिया, "ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि मेरे घर में रोशनी बहुत कम है, लेकिन यहां स्ट्रीट लाइट के नीचे ज्यादा रोशनी है..!!"
पड़ोसी उसके जवाब पर हंसे बिना नहीं रह सका।
तभी रबी मुस्कुराई और बोली, “दोस्तों, साफ है कि तुम सब समझदार हो।
फिर आप अपने मन की शांति क्यों खो देते हैं, शायद किसी असफल रिश्ते या नौकरी के कारण? तुम वही खोज रहे हो जो वहाँ खो गया था और यहाँ नहीं?”
रबी ने पड़ोसी के सीने की ओर इशारा करते हुए कहा, “क्यों उदास होते हो? आप अपना आनंद वहाँ खो देते हैं या यहाँ ??
आप अपने अंदर देखने से बचते हैं क्योंकि प्रकाश मंद होता है और इसलिए अधिक असुविधाजनक होता है?"
पड़ोसी समझ गए कि रबी उन्हें क्या सिखाना चाहता है
Out There or In Here:
Once a Rabi was out in street looking for something. One of his neighbor happen to pass by, when he saw Rabi looking for something. He stopped and asked him what happened.
Rabi replied, “I lost my key..”
Neighbor started to look for keys with him. Soon two more neighbors joined them but no one was able to find key.
At last one of neighbor asked, “Where did you drop it??”
Rabi replied, “Oh, i didn’t lost my keys here.” Then he pointed towards his house and said, “I lost it over there in my house.”
Everyone was surprised and bemused. They respectfully asked, “If you lost it there then why are you looking for it here in street??”
Rabi replied, “That’s because my house is dimly lighted but out here is so much brighter under street light..!!”
Neighbor couldn’t help but laugh at his reply.
Just then Rabi smiled and said, “Friends, It is clear that you all are intelligent.
Then why do you lose peace of your mind, perhaps because of a failed relationship or job? You look for what was lost out there and not in here?”
Rabi pointed towards neighbors chest and said, “Why you get sad? You lose your joy out there or in here??
You avoid looking inside you because light is dimmer and therefore more inconvenient?”
Neighbors understood what Rabi wanted to teach them
