OMG: Oh My God! Page #8

Each time l've to go to the

toilet for eating the fritter.

Manage a few more days..

..otherwise you'll have to

starve for the rest of your life.

You've rented such a big ground.

But now nobody comes here.

The few that are here..

..are the ones who

rented this dais to us.

l fear that if people

start believing in Kanji..

..then they will

lose their faith in us.

What if they stop

coming to the temple?

That won't happen.

ln this country,

people visit the temple..

..more than they visit the school.

The High Court has

accepted 455 cases..

..but we'll have

to wait and watch..

..Kanji Lalji Mehta's

argument in the court.

Siddeshwar Maharaj.

What's the area of your temple?

22 acres.

lt has 322 small temples of God.

Meaning, there's an entire

shopping mall of Gods inside.

Silence.

There are 142 priests to serve

the Lord in all these temples.

Do you know how many

beggars are outside your temple?

What?

- Beggars.

You remember the 320

idols and 142 priests..

..but you do you know how many

beggars sit outside your temple?

Your Honour, the beggars

outside their temple..

..are restricted

from coming inside. No!

Whether its scorching heat, or

rains, just keep rotting outside.

Don't set foot inside.

Don't say no.

A priest from your

temple told me so.

And he also said to me..

..Kanji bhai, if you

want to win this case..

..then come here every Monday.

So l asked Where should l come.

He said, Come to

Lord Shiva's temple.

Offer a bowl of

milk and then watch.

l thought, fine, let's try it.

Your Honour, l went

there on a Monday..

..with a bowl of milk,

standing in the long queue.

Everyone was holding

bowl in their hands.

l thought there must be

someone inside to drink the milk.

All of them aren't fools to

stand in the line holding a jug.

lt was my turn, Your Honour.

l went inside, but

there was no in there.

No one to drink the milk?

Just then l noticed black stone.

lt's called 'Shiva's phallus,

you fool.

Yes, there was a 'Shiva's phallus.

And that stone.

That stone was

completely immersed in milk.

And right besides the phallus,

through a small drain..

..the milk was going outside.

l thought Yes, there must be

someone outside to drink the milk.

But when l saw there was

no one outside as well.

All the milk was

going into the sewers.

The sewers.

Total waste.

And there was a beggar

standing right besides the sewer.

He must've been hungry

for the past 4-5 days.

He was shivering.

Maybe he wanted to drink the milk..

..but he couldn't do

so from the sewers.

l gave that beggar my bowl of milk.

And do you know what

he said after he drank the milk?

God bless you!

lf every person

visiting the temple..

..gives the milk

to a needy instead..

..then they will earn more merits.

Right?

lf you donate

blankets to a poor beggar..

..instead of offering it to shrine,

it will make Allah happy.

And if you light a candle

in some poor man's hut..

..instead of the church, they he'll

never have to live in the darkness.

Don't you believe in God?

- l am God.

And l am Amitabh Bachchan!

Look, Kanji.

Offering milk, candles,

blanket is a tradition.

Worshipping the Lord.

But you won't

understand their value..

..because you are an atheist.

You're still bounded by

the illusions of this world.

But you aren't.

You're at the

threshold of salvation.

So, why not stop the shams under the

pretext of rituals and traditions?

Do you know how much oil

is wasted on Saturday..

..on Lord Shani's idol?

People stick coins

on the idol like this.

What will Hanuman do

with all that change?

Kanji is absolutely right.

Sai Baba lived in poverty

all his life, for the poor.

As long as he was alive..

..he wandered around

for a drop of oil.

And today, after he's dead.

Throne worth millions.

Gold crown. What for?

Tell me one thing.

Anyone who is a

faithful devotee of the Lord..

..is blessed with His grace.

Right?

Right?

- Yes.

So tell me,

why does a bus heading..

..for a trip to Amarnath or

Vaishno Devi falls in the ravine?

They were going to serve the Lord.

They were going with complete faith

and singing religious discourses.

So, the Lord called them directly.

And show me one car

which met with an accident..

..and doesn't have God's

idol or photo kept inside.

Speak.

- l object, Your Honour.

From day 1 this man's

trying to twist the case around.

Mr. Kanji, this isn't

a debate about good and bad.

This is the court,

we only believe on proofs here.

And we have proof, your signatures

on the insurance papers.

And legally you have no right

to ask for any compensation..

..from the insurance company.

And as far as we're concerned.

We don't believe in the

insurance company's conditions.

lf they say that the

judge caused the earthquake..

..will the judge have

to pay you compensation?

Similarly, if God's name

is written on the policy..

..he isn't liable to

pay the compensation.

lf you want God to

give you compensation.

Then prove that God

caused this earthquake.

He did..

- But, in writing.

Do you have it...in writing?

Do you have it? Any proof?

Your Honour..

- Mr. Kanji, the court of law..

..cannot give a verdict

on just arguments alone.

Your arguments maybe

valid for the common people..

..but if you cannot

prove them, it has no value.

Do you have any proof?

No.

- ln that case, the

court gives you a month's time..

..which is your last chance.

On the next hearing, if you

cannot produce any evidence..

..then l'm afraid you will have

to rest your case and all others.

Court is adjourned for the day.

Relax.

Next time l see you

in this courtroom..

..l will sue you for defamation,

and you'll lose..

..whatever you have left.

Relax.

What will you do now? How will

you prove it in the court now?

Because you're not alone,

Mr. Kanji.

lt's a matter of crores of rupees.

Many people have hopes with you.

Sir, how will you get a proof in writing?

- Sir, what about these people now?

You aren't playing

your flute today.

You don't like it,

so l'm sitting quietly.

l like it. You play it well too.

Thank you.

You look worried.

- Yes.

The court says get us proof,

and in writing.

How do l get proof?

There's a consultant sitting

right next to you, ask me.

This isn't some housing loan issue.

lt's a court case.

lt's a big problem.

l've a suggestion.

Give me the alcohol.

You drink this milk.

You want me to mix them.

No, no, just drink the milk.

And l will give you the solution.

You know, Kanji,

where's the solution..

..to all the problems,

tensions and trouble written?

Where?

- ln this book.

'Shrimad Bhagvad Gita.'

Have your read it?

- Who can possibly read it?

lt's such a thick book.

And not a single photograph.

How can anyone read it,

it's not interesting at all.

l used to keep it in my shop.

But it would fetch a small margin.

Plus it catches termites.

lt causes problems.

So l threw it out.
