In the Mountains of
A younger lama said to an elder Lama,
“ I want to set up
a NGO
to criticize
Judges of Supreme Court and High Courts”
Younger Lama
expressed a desire
“Not a bad idea”
Elder Lama said
and asked,
“Who will fund your NGO?”
“There are 1000
Judge- Hunting-Clubs in India
They all will provide me with funds.
There are 1000
politicians
Who are unable to
get bails,
They will donate me generous funds
There are 1000
businessmen in India
Who want to
control Supreme Court and
High Court Judges.
They will sponsor
advertisements of my NGO
There are 1000 ministers in Government
Who want to divide
Supreme Court
By hook or by crook
They all will provide Funds and State Patronage
And TV Coverage to my NGO”
And TV Coverage to my NGO”
Younger Lama
explained his well thought out secret plan.

Elder Lama asked,
“And who will
come forward to save you
if these judges
decide to fix you up
and to shut up you?”
“Chief Justice of India will help me
out.
We used to study
together in nursery school”
Younger Lama explained.
“And who will help
you
If these judges
decide to physically beat you up
when CJI may have
gone abroad?”
Elder Lama pointed
out a sublime risk factor.
“That could be a serious problem! I never thought
about that”
Younger Lama
admitted

After half an
hour,
Elder Lama
suggested an alternative plan,
“Why don’t you set
up an NGO
to criticize those
who attack Judiciary?”
“Not a bad idea!
Younger Lama said
and asked,
“And who will
fund my NGO?”
Elder Lama replied,
“It will be unethical for sitting judges
“It will be unethical for sitting judges
to fund your NGO. But some retired
judges
May give you few hundred rupees to cover your stationary expanses”
Younger Lama asked again,
“And who will save
me
if 1000
judge-hunting –clubs in India
1000 politicians, and 1000 businessmen,
and 1000 ministers decide to beat me up
for defending judiciary?”
for defending judiciary?”
Elder Lama replied,
“Your friend Chief Justice of India will help you
out.
You said that he
and you used to study
together in nursery school"
“True. But now he has become a big man.
He may refuse to
remember anyone who may be
studying with him
in a nursery school”
Younger Lama posed
a realistic difficulty
“That could be a serious problem!
I never thought
about that”
Elder Lama
admitted
For one hour none
of them said anything
And they kept
sitting silently
Then Elder Lama asked
“So what did you finally decide?”
“So what did you finally decide?”
Younger Lama replied,
“If my heart becomes my Sun with light of knowledge,
“If my heart becomes my Sun with light of knowledge,
Then I would not have to look at others for light.
And if I do not
look at others for light,
Then I will not have any need to criticize anyone.
So I think best idea for me is not to set up any NGO.”
So I think best idea for me is not to set up any NGO.”
Younger Lama
concluded.
