Once an unhappy man came to an old master and told he had a very sad life and asked for a solution. The man asked to his master: My employees, my wife, my children and everyone else is mean and selfish. No one is right. What to do?

Looking on his face the Guru smiled a little and told him a story. There was a special room in a village which had 1000 mirrors. A little girl went to that room and started playing. She saw 1000 children playing with her and she became happy with those reflection children. As she was clapping with her hands, all the children were clapping with her, she thought that this is the best place in the world and would like to come here again and again.

After a while a sad man came from somewhere at this same place. He saw thousands of sad faces all around him. He became very sad. He raised his hand and tried to push everyone away, then he saw thousands of hands pushing him back. He said: This is the worst place in the world. He would never come here again and he left the place.

The Guru said, Similarly, this world is a room with thousands of mirrors.
Whatever is filled inside us, that nature gives back to us.

Keep your mind and heart clean then this world is like heaven for you.
