A person came to meet Swami Vivekananda, his face was showing glimpses of sadness and pain. On seeing Swami ji, he fell on his feet and started saying, 'Swami ji, I am very sad. I always do a lot of hard work, despite this I have never succeeded. Swami ji understood his problems in a moment. He handed his little pet dog to that person and said, please go on a walk with this little dog for a while, after that I will answer your questions. That person spent a lot of time with the dog. He was taking care of that dog very much because swami ji has given that dog to him. Later, when he returned to Swami ji with the dog, there was no trace of fatigue on his face. It did not seem that he had returned after hard work, but the dog was looking very tired. Swami ji asked the person, why did this dog so tired? It looks tired but you are looking fresh and clean as before. The person replied, "Swami ji, I was walking straight on my path. The dog continued to run. It ran behind all the dogs in the street, fighting with them and then again came back to me.
We both have covered the same distance, but this dog has run far more than me, so it is tired. Swami ji smiled and said, this is the answer to your questions. Instead of going directly to your destination, you keep running behind other people. You have wasted your lot of energy in it. You covered the same distance, but you get tired very badly. Now he was agreed with Swami ji.
