A memorable incident from 1991. Swamishri's 71st birthday celebrations were taking place in Gondal. Sadhus were offering Swamishri various garlands. I was handed a garland made entirely from popcorn to offer to Swamishri. I placed it around Swamishri's neck, and bowed down at his feet. Then I was given a garland made of pulses, beans and lentils. It was rather heavy to lift. As I gave it to Swamishri, I casually said, "Bapa, this garland is very heavy. You won't be able to wear it." Those few words from Swamishri helped me understand that life requires balance - a balance of happy times and hard times, though both are probably self-inflicted anyway. But by making God and Swamishri the focus of our lives, we can rise above happiness and hardships. |
