Acharya Prashant narrates the story of a character named Chunna Bhai, whose presence in the eighth grade was a profound mystery. He was rarely seen in school, would sell his books, and caused an uproar whenever he appeared. His lifestyle was such that by the age of 12-14, more than half his hair had turned white, yet he was considered an expert in all worldly arts. During exam time, while the entire class was stressed, Chunna Bhai would be carefree and joyous. After the exams, he would emerge with a loud guffaw. He celebrated his poor performance, finding immense joy in scoring low marks. If he scored zero, he would consider it a state of meditative consciousness (samadhi), celebrating the proof that he had done nothing all year and was not even capable of taking the exam. He would invite others to celebrate with him, dismissing their need to study for the next paper. Acharya Prashant draws a parallel between Chunna Bhai and how most people celebrate festivals. He asserts that on the festival of Shri Ram, we celebrate the fact that we have not lived a life imbued with Ram's qualities throughout the year. Just as Chunna Bhai celebrates his lack of preparation on exam day, we celebrate festivals without having earned the right to do so. Most of us, when we celebrate, do so just like Chunna Bhai. He explains that festivals are days of examination, not merely occasions for commotion, shopping, or spectacles. There is a full year between two festivals, just as there is between two annual exams. On the festival day, one must honestly assess whether they have spent the year trying to bring the divine quality, or 'Ram-ness', into their life. The right to celebrate belongs to the one who has done justice to the syllabus throughout the year. Without this year-long effort, any celebration is mere pretense and showmanship, devoid of soul or truth. Finally, Acharya Prashant urges the audience to begin preparations for the next festival from this day forward, so that the next celebration is authentic and earned. Festivals demand worthiness and eligibility. The crucial point is not what one has gained, but whether one has made an honest effort throughout the year. If such an effort has been made, one has the right to celebrate joyfully. Otherwise, the fanfare is hollow.
