Saroj aunty conducted the follow up yesterday at Outreach hall. After the long kriya, she felt it was about time we had some fun. So we had a clapping game and then we had to make the person in front of us laugh. How some achieved that, was funny enough to listen to. And then it was time for some knowledge. She recounted a reply given by Guruji when a person asked him about how to be happy. Here it goes:
There are three things:
One is being happy at another person’s success. Generally feelings of jealousy and self pity arise. But make a conscious effort to be happy for the other person just like you would be happy for your friend.
Second is sympathy. When you find another person going through a tough problem be sympathetic and do whatever you can to help him. At the same time make sure you don’t get stuck in their unhappiness. Just help them and let go of the situation.
Third is indifference. If anything that is unpleasant or undesirable happens just be indifferent to it and don’t let it take your happiness away. Do anything that is necessary to be done, but don’t let the situation disturb you.
Just before leaving she asked if anyone had some health or emotional problem, they could come to get a blessing. Soon enough a long queue formed in front of her (Well the midsem is just around the corner :) ).
Sadhana, fun, knowledge and a topping of blessings and we made our way back.
