Tumko ho pasand wohi baat kahenge...

Hope you had a wonderful Diwali vacation. I enjoyed my Diwali staying at home doing some gardening, cleaning up my room, keeping my stuff in right place and avoiding unnecessary phone calls :)

Well I was fortunate to attend Art of Living 'Diwali Pahat' satsang in presence of Swami Pragyapad ji. Amol ji led everyone into beautiful satsang with his enchanting voice. After the satsang Swami ji was asked to share few knowledge tidbits. Smiling, He said being Advanced Meditation Course teacher He is happy being in 'Maun' (silence). But how could we let Him off the hook so easily, with our due persistence, He shared few Guru Stories which were never enough!

I would like to share one of the stories He mentioned, hold on, here it goes...

He said few years back when Guruji used to have free time, Guruji was humming a Hindi movie song, and I guess most of you will know this one. 'Tumko ho pasand wohi baat kahenge...' Swami ji said Gurudev was continuously humming only the first line of the song and all the other teachers with Him were singing the next line in their mind. This went on for 10-15 minutes.
Then suddenly Guruji asked everyone 'Do you know the next line of this song?', before even Guru ji could say anything everyone went up together 'Tum dinko agar raat kaho to raat kahenge...’ And Guru ji said NO, it is not like that. I have made a new line, and He continued it is 'Humko jo ho pasand wohi kaam karenge...!' And everyone burst into laughter :)

Swami ji said, through this Guru ji stressed on coming from the space of yes mind. Coming from the space of acceptance and then doing SKILLFULLY whatever has to be done at that moment.

Swami ji said most of the problems in life are there due to our talking (words) whether someone likes or dislikes it. So He said always come from the space of yes and then skillfully getting the things done the way we want, instead of getting into conflict. He went on giving few more beautiful examples...but as you know 'Tumko ho pasand wohi baat kahenge...Humko jo ho pasand wohi kaam karenge...!'

Love,
Satyajit
