Who a Contented Man is

 

Once upon a time, in a bygone era, a nobleman of considerable standing had erected a grandiose mansion, the likes of which had not been seen in the region. Driven by an unquenchable desire to discover a man who was truly contented with his life, he had a sign affixed on the front gate with a most intriguing proclamation: “This house in to be given to the first man who can prove that he is contented.”

 

One fine day, a stranger made his way to the estate and politely requested an audience with the nobleman, having come to stake his claim on the property. The nobleman granted him an audience and inquired as to his purpose. The stranger responded with a declaration of his contentment, laying claim to the house. The nobleman, intrigued, asked him how he could prove his contentment.

 

The stranger, with a calm and collected demeanor, explained that it was his innate nature to remain content, regardless of whether or not his expectations were met. Unimpressed, the nobleman probed further, asking him to define the essence of a contented man. The stranger replied that a contented man was one who found happiness in what he already possessed, without a desire for more.

 

In a sudden flash of insight, the nobleman realized that the stranger’s very claim to the house was proof that he was not contented, for if he were, he would not have sought out such grandeur. With a heavy heart, the nobleman uttered a solemn truth: "If you were truly contented, you would not be here seeking to claim this house." The stranger, feeling the sting of shame and a broken heart, silently left the estate. Thus, the nobleman’s search for a contented man continued.

সন্তুষ্ট মানুষ কে?




একসময়, অতীতের যুগে, একজন বিশিষ্ট সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি একটি বিশাল প্রাসাদ তৈরি করেছিলেন, যার মতো প্রাসাদ এই অঞ্চলে আর কখনও দেখা যায়নি। তার জীবনে সত্যিকার অর্থে সন্তুষ্ট এমন একজন মানুষকে খুঁজে বের করার অদম্য আকাঙ্ক্ষায় তিনি সদর দরজায় একটি সাইনবোর্ড লাগিয়েছিলেন যার উপর একটি অত্যন্ত আকর্ষণীয় ঘোষণা ছিল: "এই বাড়িটি সেই ব্যক্তিকে দেওয়া হবে যিনি প্রথম প্রমাণ করতে পারবেন যে তিনি সন্তুষ্ট।"




একদিন, একজন অপরিচিত ব্যক্তি সম্পত্তিতে প্রবেশ করে বিনয়ের সাথে সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তির সাথে দেখা করার অনুরোধ জানায়, সম্পত্তির উপর তার দাবি দাখিল করতে এসে। সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি তাকে দেখা করার অনুমতি দেয় এবং তার উদ্দেশ্য জিজ্ঞাসা করে। অপরিচিত ব্যক্তি তার সন্তুষ্টির ঘোষণা দিয়ে বাড়িটির উপর দাবি জানায়। সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি কৌতূহলী হয়ে তাকে জিজ্ঞাসা করে যে সে কীভাবে তার সন্তুষ্টি প্রমাণ করতে পারে।



অপরিচিত ব্যক্তি শান্ত এবং সংগৃহীত আচরণের সাথে ব্যাখ্যা করে যে তার প্রত্যাশা পূরণ হোক বা না হোক, সন্তুষ্ট থাকা তার সহজাত স্বভাব। অভিভূত না হয়ে, সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি আরও জিজ্ঞাসা করলেন, তাকে একজন সন্তুষ্ট মানুষের সারাংশ সংজ্ঞায়িত করতে বললেন। অপরিচিত ব্যক্তি উত্তর দিলেন যে একজন সন্তুষ্ট ব্যক্তি হলেন যিনি তার ইতিমধ্যেই যা আছে তাতে সুখ খুঁজে পান, আরও কিছুর আকাঙ্ক্ষা ছাড়াই।




হঠাৎ অন্তর্দৃষ্টির ঝলক দিয়ে, সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি বুঝতে পারলেন যে অপরিচিত ব্যক্তির বাড়ির উপর দাবিই প্রমাণ করে যে তিনি সন্তুষ্ট নন, কারণ যদি তিনি থাকতেন, তাহলে তিনি এত জাঁকজমক খুঁজতেন না। ভারাক্রান্ত হৃদয়ে, সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তি একটি গম্ভীর সত্য উচ্চারণ করলেন: "যদি আপনি সত্যিই সন্তুষ্ট হতেন, তাহলে আপনি এখানে এই বাড়ি দাবি করতে চাইতেন না।" অপরিচিত ব্যক্তি, লজ্জার যন্ত্রণা এবং ভগ্ন হৃদয় অনুভব করে, চুপচাপ সম্পত্তি ছেড়ে চলে গেলেন। এইভাবে, একজন সন্তুষ্ট ব্যক্তির জন্য সম্ভ্রান্ত ব্যক্তির অনুসন্ধান অব্যাহত রইল।
