Saw the movie LINGAA last evening. The role of Rajnikanth in that movie was a leader with mass appeal. People obeyed his every line and respected him from the hearts. As I also do a job of handling people, these type of people are genuinely inspirational to me. A leader should be that the subordinates blindly follow and admire him, respect and obey him. Whenever I think of such a person, the image of PATIL SIR come into my mind.
Even though, he is old and holds a senior post into the accounts department, he has the minimal ego. He mixes with all age groups and talks softly with everyone. His smile never disappears from face and hardly he speaks bad about anything. He either speaks good or remains silent; It is possible that other see him from a different viewpoint but that’s what I See.
Neither all the GYANI PURUSH have a hanging beard nor all of them are living in forests. He is a Modern day RISHI; RISHI is what? From my Definiton: A RISHI IS SOMEONE WHO HAS ACHIEVED ENOUGH CONTROL OVER ANGER, GREED AND LUST. WHOSE HUNGER AND THIRST ARE ALWAYS SATISFIED WITH GOOD FOODS AND WHO ALWAYS MAKES PEOPLE FEEL GOOD INTO THIS BAD WORLD. This definition just fits into him.
You could talk with him about origins of Religions or the history of Hinduism. Geeta is on his finegertips but he don’t disregard any other religious book too. Even though you’ll ask him to stay in a mud hut for few days, he will happily do. He don’t belong to big hotels and cars; even though his monthly salary can buy a new car.
Earlier, I used to think that such a soft person won’t have any command on juniors and anyone else. I used to think that his soft behaviors would be a hurdle in decision making. But recently I got to know from someone that He has rocked the entire Jindal Center with his presence. He is finishing the projects with a decent Pace and his decisions are very clear always. His dedication to work and deep knowledge of subject, impresses all.
When his wife arrived here for a few days, I met her few times over the Eating table. She was also a very nice lady with humble confidence. She used to travel the city alone when SIR was in working hours and similar to him, she had a deep spiritual inclination. She prepares delicious dishes but also she handles a social program for kids in village. I was genuinely impressed with her and she resembled my own mother in many angles.
Even though, Patil sir is a white collared accountant, his interests into Agriculture is not any less. I enjoy discussing crops, fertilizers and milking animals with him. He has a garden of Pomegranates in village and in various times of life, he has tried different types of farming alongside the Job. He still considers himself a Farmer who belongs to Village even though he has spent almost whole life into Metro cities.
World should have more people like Him. Ego should disappear, anger should run out of the window. Short Temper should make a suicide and only LOVE should propagate. Only the Knowledge should Live long, long live the Simplicity.
(Even though, he will read this someday; he should always behave like he hasn’t. )
