I read a very good article in The Times of India some time back. The writer is at the topmost post of a big multinational company. He was an IITian who passed some 10 Years back from IIT, Kharagpur in Computer Engineering. Recently he visited Belur Math where he met his batch mate who happened to be his next room neighbor sharing the same hostel when they were studying in IIT. His friend was then the Second ranker in the JEE, the board which selects the students for the IITs. He was the topper and the Gold medalist in Computer Science Department, IIT Kharagpur when he finally passed out. He was offered admissions to many of the top Universities in the world, but he decided to do his M.Tech from IIT, Kanpur itself. After that the author of this article had very little contact with him.
They met for the first time after that big gap at the Belur Math, a center of Ramkrishna Mission. At the lunch they had a chat where the writer could know about his friend’s life after passing out of the IIT, Kanpur. His friend told him that he is actively associated with RamKrishna Mishan and working for the welfare of the impoverished and downtrodden people. He gives computer training run by the trust to the children who cannot afford the same. He has devoted his life in the service of poor and under-privileged. According to the author, from the very beginning when they were in IIT, his friend was very much devoted to RamKrishna Paramhans and Vivekanand. In the four years during his B.E. he simply worn white Payjama and Kurta that showed his simplicity even though he was such a genius that he could crack toughest of the problems within seconds and even professors kept on wondering about his abilities. According to his friend, not just the corporate world wants the genius people, they are required in social sectors also and that is why he has chosen this field in his life. He has vowed to always remain unmarried and put his whole life in the service of humanity. His name is revered in and around Belur Math and is called as Maharaj. Author says he is greatly moved after meeting his friend, in fact the job satisfaction he is having there is unparallel. One can earn millions of dollars a year, but cannot match the job satisfaction that he is having in his life.
The gist of the story is that we should always heed to the call of our heart. We shouldn’t go along the rat race of this artificial world of money and glamour. Money and glamour has no end to it, you wish one, and another comes to your mind the day you fulfill that. We never satisfy our soul in this rat race to achieve more and more and more….. At the end of the life, we find ourselves at the same position where we had started, a close fist having nothing in our hand. We can’t carry with us those wealth and money which we earned lifelong. We came here empty handed and we will have to leave this world empty handed. So, it’s good to do something for the others specially the poor and the under-privileged so that even after the death someone would keep you alive in his memories.
