Dear Gowri
Sadhguru says in one of his lectures that the fundamental craving for any human being is to expand......In fact the firm belief on re-births by many of us, the desire to get recognised by others - to name just a couple - are just indications of this basic craving.....!! We perhaps understand things better with live experiences.
I would like to share some thing that happened today morning....IT is a series of three events - all today morning within half hour time....all of them are basically dialogues between people - QUITE SIMPLE ONES - but capable of triggering me to compuslively write them in minutest details in this posting......This is going to be a combination of direct speech and indirect speech for better impact and understanding to you.....
__________________________________________________________________
DIALOGUE 1 :-
I was sitting in the hall cross legged just after watching a CD of sadhguru....time was 11.30 AM and I was about to take Madhoo to music class ... Her cousin (Sadhoo) had stayed previous night at our home and I was supposed to leave her in her house and then leave to music class which is to start at 12 Noon. Madhoo was getting ready and was calling me loudly from kitchen and I was in meditative mood (Lazy ??) not eager to get up.....here the dialogue goes...
Madhoo ::: "Appa !!!! Appa !!!!!'
Me :::: (Shouting back) "What it is ? Tell me.....If you want some thing from me, you come to me"
Madhoo ::: "No appa !! You only have to come here... I want this water bottle from shelf...I am not able to reach it !!"
Me :::: (Again shouting back) "Try to take it yourself with the help of stool which is placed in the hall... If you still cant reach it, then call me"....
Madhoo ::: " I already tried it !! I can't reach"
Hearing this, I immediately got up telling "If you have tried already and still can't reach, here I come"....
DIALOGUE 2 :- We reach Sadhoo's home and I park the vehicle bit farther from their flat...as it was too sunny...I found a small tree near the next home in the opposite side and thought my scooty will be better off there !! As Sadhoo crossed the road and went into her home, Madhoo was waiting for me to join to go inside the house..I put the side stand in the scooty and lifted up Madhoo's small bag containing music note back..to take it along with us to the I floor of the flat. Madhoo ::"Appa, I think we can keep it in the scooty's box itself !! why to carry it all the way and bring it back....we are going to be only for few minutes inside the home"
Me :::: "it wont fit in....it is better we take it with us instead of it remaining in the open box which is available in the front side of scooty..."
Madhoo ::: GETTING REMINDED "appa....you SHOULD TRY.....dont tell things without trying......"....Smiling at me....
Me :::: Looking straight into her eyes and enjoying her connecting ability, "Very Good !!" I dutifully obeyed...opened the scooty box and tried to keep the bag...it did not fit in.....I looked at back and told with a smile "Some times, you should not waste time even in trying....when you are very sure things will not happen.....Do you understand"...
Madhoo....Laughs understanding my shot given back quickly and I was quite proud at the whole conversation...by itself, this could have got qualified to be posted....BUT...
Dialogue 3 ::::
There is a Ford Car which was parked close to my scooty in the opposite direction...that guy wanted to take a U turn...His wife along with kid was seen along with him in the front seat itself and I noticed him soon after the dialogue 2 above....We were walking towards the flat by now but I immediately stopped seeing him and when my eyes met him, I found him quite friendly and smiling....I infact turned back towards my scooty to keep it some where to help him....
This person must have watched me for couple of minutes earier too - involved in parking the vehicle and talking some thing to a little girl...both of them laughing at some joke.....and might have got amused....HE WAS IN GOOD MOOD....that is the point here....!!
me :::: "Sorry...Just a minute sir...I will keep it bit farther"
Stranger :::: "No no sir.....not required; I WILL TRY MYSELF WITHOUT DISTURBING YOU"
At this point, I did not get the point but Madhoo was yelling at me......
Madhoo :::: " Appa Appa....see, HUNDRED YEARS......he is talking about trying"...
Both of us feverishly laugh and seeing us, not sure if he understood any thing, the family at car too smiled...and moved off in first gear....

It is quite nice when some one who is too proud about his abilities to get connected ... at ease with new people / get connected with old incidents / get connected with a solution in a situation taking a clue from another similar situation - in abstract sense.... Wont I feel elated and blissful when my own daughter makes a grand start....at a time when even I was not sharp enough to observe what she connected ??
Blissfully yours
