Once there were this so-called holy man,
walked across a village.
People gathered around him, and started asking questions.
A man stepped forward.
He complained, why is he being poor,
despite of all the hard work he had done.
The holy man replied, “poverty, as well as your hard work,
are simply illusions. No one is poor, no one had done hard work.
Only what is, Real.”
A woman stepped forward.
She asked, how to get her husband back,
for he had run away with a younger woman.
The holy man responded, “nothing. There is no one runs away with some one.
They are not real. Only what is, Real.”
Finally, a boy stepped forward.
He punched the holy man hard right at his nose.
The holy man screamed aloud,
“Ouch!!! That was painful! What was that for?”
The boy answered, “Pain is not Real. There is no one to feel pain.
Only what is, Real.”
