A disciple approached his master and said, \u201cWhat do people need to be happy?\u201d\n Master asked, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d\n Disciple thought for a moment and said, \u201cI feel that if one\u2019s basic need is being met, having food and drink, a place to live, having a good job, having security.. If a person have all this then he will be happy.\u201d\n Hearing this, Master did not said anything and asked disciple to go on walk with him.\n Master disciple walked for a while and then stopped near a door and said, \u201cOpen this door..\u201d\n Disciple opened the door and saw that there was a chicken coop in front of him. There was a number of chickens, all imprisoned in big cages.\n Seeing it, disciple asked, \u201cWhy are you showing me this?\u201d\n Master started questioning while disciple was answering\n Master \u2013 Do chicken get food? Master \u2013 Do they have a house to live in? Master \u2013 Are they safe from cats or dogs? Master \u2013 Does he have a egg? Master \u2013 Do you think they are happy?\n Disciple started looking at those chicken closely. He didn\u2019t know how to tell if they were happy or not..\n While disciple was thinking, Master said, \u201cCome with me.\u201d\n Both again started walking and after some time stopped near a big field. There were lots of chicken in field. They were neither imprisoned in any cage, nor there was anyone to feed them. They were themselves searching for food and playing with each other.\n Master asked, \u201cDo these chicken look happy?\u201d\n Disciple found this question a bit strange and he started thinking \u2013 environment here is bit different, chicken here are living in a natural way, eating, drinking and looking more healthy.\n So, in muffled voice he replied, \u201cPerhaps!!\u201d\n Master said, \u201cOf course, these chicken are happy.\u201d\n Master continued, \u201cChicken in coup have all things you thought were necessary to be happy. Their basic needs like food, drink, shelter.. Everything is there but are they happy?\n Where as chickens roaming in open have to find their own food, find place to live, protect themselves but still they are happy.. Why?\u201d\n Disciple couldn\u2019t speak.\n Then, in serious voice Master said, \u201cIn our life we all have to make a choice..\n Either we can live like chickens in a cage, a life where we will no exist or we can live those chicken in fields, who can live a free life by taking risks and explore infinite possibilities.\n You asked me about being happy.. Didn\u2019t you?\n So, here is my answer \u2013 You can not be happy just by breathing. To be happy you should have courage to life life freely.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A disciple approached his master and said, \u201cWhat do people need to be happy?\u201d Master asked, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d Disciple thought for a moment and said, \u201cI feel that if one\u2019s basic need is being met, having food and drink, a place to live, having a good job, having security..
