i have taken a short break from my research on the Bollywood song, offering you some twisted digressions; here is my remix version of a Zen Story. Now pay attention,every word matters in a Zen story.
Just Go to Sleep
Pramod was sitting at the bedside of Atal three days before his teacher's passing. Atal had already chosen him as his successor.
A mosque recently had burned and Pramod was busy rebuilding the structure. Atal asked him: "What are you going to do when you get the temple rebuilt?"
"When your sickness is over we want you to speak there," said Pramod.
"Suppose I do not live until then?"
"Then we will get someone else," replied Pramod.
"Suppose you cannot find anyone?" continued Atal.
Pramod answered loudly: "Don't ask such foolish questions. Just go to sleep."
