Govind Dholakia talks on The Secret of Finding Happiness in Life.

If you ask me a question, it doesn't mean I know the answer? No, it's not necessary. But I have experience because I grew up in the fields. For 11 years, these feet didn't see shoes, and for 7 years, we didn't even wear shorts. You'll be shocked to know that nobody in my village used to wear shorts. Not just me alone, but the whole village. It was a tradition for the entire village. When kids started going to school, they began wearing shorts. So, I've seen that kind of life too. There is a Al-B

urj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, where the rent per night is 200,000 rupees. I have stayed there too. But But in those 200,000 per night rooms, you think you will get good sleep, And when we get sleep in the fields, we get less sleep; it's nothing like that. Sleep always comes from within, not from outside, not from a pillow, not even from a room. Sleep comes from within us. How much satisfaction we have inside, how much peace of mind we have, that's where sleep comes from. In my village, Lathi Taluk

a, we used to get a meal for 6 annas, which is equal to 37 paisa. We used to get half a meal. 3 rotis and rice & lentils & vegetables. So, I've eaten that for 37 paisa. And when I went to Moscow, Russia in 1997, there was nothing vegetarian available. I went to an American 5-star hotel there for dinner, and there was a 350 dollar entry fee. we can eat anything there, but I didn't eat anything there except fruits, I still had to pay 350 dollars. I've had a 20k dinner and a 37 paisa lunch. I remem

ber both of them. So, which meal would have been more enjoyable? The 37 paisa one, because it was ours. Having lentils, rice, roti, and vegetables was our food. There were 300 other items, but they weren't ours, so we had to eat fruit. Happiness and sorrow are all games of the mind. They don't come from outside but it comes from satisfaction. So, the work which you are going to do in your life? and the work which your doing right now? Are you satisfied in it or not? we have to idnetify that. And

we have to live for ourselves not for others.
