Time Management  


At 5.50 p.m. Swamishri completed his evening walk and yogasans in the mandir. Thereafter, he was informed about his scheduled 6.30 p.m. arrival for the welcome assembly in the mandir hall. During the interim period Swamishri decided upon finishing his correspondence. As he was about to take paper and pen, an attendant sadhu arrived and asked Swamishri whether he had time to meet Han Kop, a devotee, now or later. Swamishri said that he would meet him and write the letter during the assembly.
When Han Kop and Martin arrived, an attendant sadhu said, “Han Kop was very happy on reading the blessings you had written in his newly purchased copy of the Vachanamrut.” Swamishri had written, “By reading the Vachanamrut one will get the essence of all shastras. Read one Vachanamrut daily and one will realise the knowledge of atma and Paramatma and experience peace. With blessings.”

After spending twenty minutes with Han Kop, Swamishri got up to go to the assembly. When Swamishri came out of his room it was 6.10 p.m. On his way to Thakorji’s darshan, the resident sadhu looking after the kitchen arrangement informed Swamishri about the food items for dinner for the devotees. Along the way Swamishri acknowledged the presence of youths. On reaching Thakorji, Swamishri engaged himself in darshan. Thereafter, on seeing a youth, Swamishri told him that his father had informed him about his problem during their flight to London and blessed him that everything would turn out well.

After descending to the ground floor, Swamishri passed by the exhibition, ‘Understanding Hinduism’. A volunteer devotee said, “Bapa, I request you to visit the exhibition.” Swamishri replied calmly, “I have to reach the assembly now. I shall come later.” Swamishri arrived in the haveli foyer and by the main entrance to the assembly hall before time. It was 6.25 p.m.

Swamishri’s time management was simply amazing. Despite the time restraint, Swamishri executed his work without creating an air of business, tension, noise or disrespect towards anyone.
