00:00
So once the Mullah was standing at a crossing and there were some kids around him and the kids were pestering him.
00:06
So the Mullah said, I'm going to teach them a lesson.
00:09
Mullah said, why don't you all go to the marketplace, run along and run hard.
00:13
The kids said, why? Why should we go there Mullah?
00:15
Mullah said, the mayor, he has thrown a lavish party. You must go there.
00:20
Here you would get nothing. There you can fill up yourself to your heart's content.
00:25
So run hard, everybody.
00:26
The kids ran to the marketplace. The Mullah smiled for some time.
00:29
And then the onlookers got a surprise.
00:32
They found that Mullah too was running after the kids.
00:35
Somebody stopped Mullah and asked him, Mullah, we saw you fool the kids.
00:39
Now why are you running towards the marketplace?
00:41
Mullah said, who knows, there might actually be a party.
00:46
Mullah started hoping, well, so many kids are going there.
00:49
What if there is actually a party?
00:52
Then I would be the one who has been fooled.
00:54
So why take the risk?
00:55
When everybody is running towards the marketplace, let me also run towards the marketplace.
01:00
You too are running towards the marketplace in the same way.
01:03
It might be a commercial marketplace.
01:05
It might be a spiritual marketplace.
01:07
We very well know that there is nothing there in the direction we are running towards.
01:11
But what can one do with the tendency to hope?
01:15
Such a joke is human life.
01:17
Such a joke in itself.
