And we are placed in places that no matter how much intellect we have can explain how they happened?. I came to Chennai five months ago on November27th,2014. I had no plans of visiting
India and did not have the necessary documents to visit(visa) certain family situations made me
Acquire a emergency visa and landed in India chennai. The visa was granted in minutes which is
Totally unheard of that's when you know there is a unseen hand working behind the scene making
This happen.
I had the great privilege of meeting several people who don't possess any degree or don't have
Any mansions,homes or wealth that is used in this modern age to judge one's status.
The so called educated or the middle class/ upper class would only associate with the same kind
And not mingle the average day to day person as they are considered far less than them even in this
So called modern age.
I am always drawn to the daily wage earners,or people who have set up stalls on the road side or
Tea stalls. Every human is striving for the same happiness rich or poor. A day's meal,(food), clothing
Shelter and a little saving to send the children to school for a better life than themselves.
One can learn a lot by talking to them.I certainly did.
SPACE: I had gone to visit a family in outskirts of chennai a place called Karur. Went for a 2nd
Anniversary celebration of a evolved being. The host family had a one room cottage( Hut) and there
We're people inside so I decided to wait outside. The host Ms.Shubha said "Anna" elder brother
Why are you waiting outside? Go inside and I replied there are a lot of people inside and without
Any hesitation came the reply
THIS HOUSE CAN NEVER BE FULL : IT IS NOT THE SPACE WHICH MATTERS BUT THE HEART
AND THE HEART CAN BE EXPANDED AS MUCH WE WANT.
What a profound statement from a very simple human
2) TREE: we had rented a car and a driver to drive from chennai to Karur in the year 2012 and had the
Privilege of meeting Baluswami Siddhar stayed in his presence for more than 8days. My family
We stayed in a hotel as per Baluswami's instructions and every morning would come and stay with the
Siddhar till the late evenings. Had great divine satsang with this evolved soul.
On one day the driver went early to see the Siddhar without informing us and we we're searching
For him. Later when met him asked where did you go? He said to ask about my boss/ business
Why are you concerned about your bosses business?
HE REPLIED: SIR IF THE TREE DOES WELL AUTOMATICALLY I WILL DO WELL ( TAKEN CARE)
WHAT A GREAT PROFOUND THINKING BY A VERY ORDINARY MAN WHOM THE SO CALLED
SOCIETY WILL NOT GIVE HIM A CHANCE JUST BECAUSE OF HIS PROFESSION
3) VALUE FOR HUMAN LIFE
Had the privelege of meeting Rafiki a very shy man does only what he is told. When I had a chance
Talked to him and asked what happened?
He narrated: My birth parents when they realized that I had some mental problems as a child and due to the fact did not have resources to take care of me they dumped me in a huge dumpster. I could not
Come out with the few words that I could speak I mumbled and shouted and a passerby over heard
Me and rescued and took me home and raised me. He already had six children but had the heart to
Raise me in his very average home. He is MUSLIM by religion but FOR ME HE IS GOD, and named me
RAFIKI.
My father who has raised me I have the almost respect for him more than any name and form of any God form and assist him in his business in doing the most insignificant things. All I want is that I am
Always in his presence and to serve him.
THESE ARE NOT MERE WORDS HE HAD TEARS AND SO DID I WHEN HE NARRATED. I COULD
ONLY VISUALISE THE SON WHO IS WORSHIPPING THE LORDS FEET.
MEET AVANNI AMMA OR RANNI MA
Takes pride in decorating the doorstep of our hearts ever morning and sweeping the hall with a smile.
2. Mr. Balakrishnan , Dosa stall in front of our residence. He starts his day early in the morning making
Dosa and vada and for those who want a extra protein adds a egg. The day ends at 8-9 pm and starts
The day again with a smile. He is wearing a LUNGI Or DHOTI
3.MR. Jaganathan sells tea or chai with snacks variety of biscuits and other Indian snacks. He said "started working in the tea stall from the age of six." Normally children are enjoying life of going to school
Or playing with other children certainly not working at that tender age. He said I have moved up but still struggling in day to day.
4. Coconut stall: ON T.T.K ROAD AT THE INTERSECTION OF RAM NAGAR
When I was having my coconut water drink started to have a conversation as to how they got started
And they told me their entire life in a matter of minutes. The average Indian does not have time to
Talk or have conversations with the workers as they are not EQUAL but after having a chance of
Listening will see that all humans are starving for the same.
We are all beggars at different levels no difference any one is paying is higher than the receiver.
It is just that we hide behind our ego I am so and so doctor,lawyer,judge,politician,law enforcement,
Business and so on and so forth.
Mr.A DAS and his spouse Rajanna Mary have been running that stall for the last 27 years from 7am
Till -9 pm. He also talked about all trials and tribulations of setting and running the business. There
We're times we wanted just a small capital to restart and no one would help. I have personal
Experience and could relate to all he was talking about.
They have spent all their life savings on their two children. The daughter was recently married and his son in law is a carpenter. His son wanted to study engineering the college fees 4.5 lakhs per year plus the cost of Each book
Cost between 2500-3500. rupees and has totally wiped out our savings. We make only a few hundred
Rupees a day and from that we have to maintain our day to day life of basic necessities there are days we don't have 10 rupees to buy a cup of tea and stand on the footpath in the hot climate with no
Relief.
I have been a customer in all these places and to see the real human in action with so much love to give which you will not get at a five star hotel.
OPEN YOUR HEART TO ALL REGARDLESS OF THEIR SITUATIONS THAt THEY ARE IN
MONEY COMES AND GOES.
Love all serve all
