 But despite having the world at his finger tips, Rajesh remained an insecure person. He had money, power, respect from society. And yet, despite having all of that, he could not feel secure. 

His parents were concerned about Rajesh when he was young. They tried to provide for him and give him a lot. But despite all the love and support that they tried to give him, it couldn't fill the vacuum that Rajesh felt within him. As long as he could paint the surface of his situation with honey, he had no problem ignoring the poison underneath the surface. From the top things smelled so good. 

Rajesh's father sat down and tried to explain to him about what was happening in his life. 

"Rajesh, when I was young, there was a ghee seller that came to our home selling ghee. The ghee looked really good. We sniffed one of the clay jars of ghee, and it smelled great. So my family bought a clay jar. Well, we scooped out the ghee from the top and put it on our rice and dal. It tasted great. Day after day we took more and more out of the clay jar and put it on the food. But one day, the ghee started to smell funny. So we dug in with a spoon, and you won't believe what happened. It was digusting. The deeper into the ghee jar we dug in the worse it smelled. Then we found some nasty rotten stuff at the bottom of the jar. The ghee seller had apparantly put rotten things at the bottom of the clay jar and then had filled the top with the highest quality ghee. My parents and my brothers and sisters almost threw up when we saw this."

"Rajesh, don't make your life like the jar of the clay jar of ghee. Don't make it nice smelling and lovely at the surface level and rotten below the surface."
