The story "Photocopy - A mirror of soul" features a conversation with Jitendra Patel, a writer who aspires to impact his readers positively despite the lack of attention writers often receive. He believes that his insights can help others change their perspectives and achieve their life goals. In Chapter 1, titled "Making Fool of God," the narrative explores the behavior of a common man named Dayal, who frequently visits a temple to pray for wealth and solutions to his problems. He donates a small amount of money, convinced that this will bring him prosperity, influenced by observing a wealthier individual, Man Mohan, who also worships at the temple. Dayal shifts his devotion to the same deity worshiped by Man Mohan, hoping to replicate his success. However, after six months of donating without taking actionable steps or investing his money, Dayal remains in the same financial situation. The author argues that Dayal's reliance on copying others and expecting divine intervention without personal effort is misguided. In contrast, Man Mohan, despite his wealth, visits the temple not for personal gain but to affirm his relationship with the divine. The story critiques blind faith and emphasizes the importance of personal initiative and responsibility in achieving one's goals.
