Arjun turned on the TV as soon as he got home from work. It was time for his favorite show. His wife and children were quite used to that routine. His children, Anjali and Raghav knew that their cartoon time was up. They went inside. His wife Deepali headed straight to the kitchen to prepare tea. Arjun sat on the sofa to hear words of wisdom from Mr. Narayan, a very popular Guru. Arjun believed that Guru Narayan had answers to all his questions. Guru Narayan's teachings gave him the strength to bounce back when he felt low.


Deepali asked how his day was while serving him tea and biscuits. He said he'll talk about it later because he didn't want any interruption while watching the show. His wife was used to this response. However, there was something about his tone which made her feel that something was not right. She noticed that Arjun's face was tense. There was something going on in his mind. She decided to wait for the show to get over.


When the show ended, he turned off the TV and went straight to his room. Deepali was now sure that something was wrong. After the show got over, Arjun always talked about how good the episode was and praised Guru Narayan before heading to his room to change his clothes. Deepali went to talk to him.

He said that he didn't find the solution to his problem in today's episode. He said he always thought that Guru Narayan had a solution for his every problem but he was wrong. Deepali asked him about the problem. He said that he took bribe in his office today. Something he had never done. He said he was running low on savings so he was desperate. He said he's feeling very guilty about taking that money and he thought that Guru Narayan would have a solution to make his guilt disappear but he didn't. Deepali said he did have a solution. Arjun looked confused. Deepali said that the Guru always said that people who always do the right thing are a lot more wealthy than those who earn money by wrong means. That is because they can sleep peacefully at night. 


Deepali told him that he had made a very wrong decision and she will never forgive him for it. She said the best you can do now is return that money back. Arjun did and he felt very relieved after that. Arjun told Deepali that she helped him even when the Guru couldn't. She told him that sometimes people think that there is some magic which will resolve all their issues but the truth is that the remote lies within yourself.
