________________ A Child's Quest to find his "Purpose of Life" could be used for any of your future mistakes, books on how to make money, autobiographies of your uncles who've made it to the top, 7 habits of highly successful people etc, and a bumper sticker that says "I'm proud to be a child who listens". Student #4: I'm going to pass... how about you guys? Student #1,2,3: This stall seems like a mixture of all the previous stalls. The 5 points we heard in this stall were exactly the things we heard in previous 5 stalls. If those stalls individually did not provide us a way to achieve happiness, how can their mixture lead us to happiness? We're going to pass too. EXIT End of Fair -- Student #4: Sir, before we go, can we ask you a question? The whole world comes to temples and perform prayers and puja for happiness and now we're learning that, it too doesn't guarantee happiness, then where are all the answers? Son.......... "The ONLY gift our Teerthankars* gave us was Jinvani*", that was their ONLY gift to us, "Rest is Man-Made". Maybe you should seek answers from Jinvani. We never had time to read or understand what's written in it. Stall6 Host1: * Punya que - Imperfections in our character or beliefs that bring worldly pleasures * Jinvani faluft - knowledge imparted by Teerthankar's on our ultimate goal of being happy 29
