My meeting with Mechanical enggineer or Lord Krishana's Devotee

Today I went to buy new Cell phone with my friend Naveen. After purchasing the mobile we
both are coming back, in the way I saw a bookseller. He was in a traditional Indian dress -
"doti-kurta" and he has books related to Lord Krishana and his Geeta-Updesh only.

And my friend Naveen want the "shri matbhagavata geeta" book. so we decided to ask to him.
He showed us the english version of shri matbhagavata geeta but it contains all the conversation
between Lord Krishna and his friend and Devotee arjuna in sanskrit and english both and the
meaning of both sanskrit and english words and phrases , then we asked for the price, he told it
will cost Rs 125/- and he will give one poster of lord krishna also. But my friend said, no we can't
able to give Rs 125/- because we are student but we can give you Rs 100/-. Then he said," if you take two books then it will be possible for him. " Then we decide to take 2 for Rs 200/-. Then he asked what we people are doing ? Which course and where we are staying ? our Qualification ? then he said,"I am also a Mechanical Engineer and working in a Software Company". We both are shocked and asked him, then why you are selling these books, he replied that,

"I am a member of a committee that every day give meals to 5000 children and i believe in
Lord Krishna and his updesh he had delivered to his friend and his devotee Arjuna during the
battle of Mahabharat that - this life is "moha maya" and every man on this earth wants
"moksha". so you don't afraid of any thing and just do you work, don't worry about the result. "

Then he said," on holidays I used to sell books and all the money he get from the selling goes to
feed the children." And he said," you read this book and after some time you will find that
what you are searching is within you and near to you only you thing you need is path or way,
how to reach there and how to walk on that path."
