1994-03-20 - Sunday - Kalyanamantapam session

 

A still of Swami in the Brindavan Kalyanamantapam, from this video - Weddings at Brindavan

Morning - did Sanskrit - till lunch, 4 acts of Pratima's slokas / important lines, wrote in notes. Then Linear Analysis. Yesterday's test - 70 out of 105. Not good enough. So many mistakes, which could've been avoided, especially in the 10 mark ones. Arnel came (to the AVC) for charging batteries (presumably for his video camera), said Swami's calling us to Kalyanamantapam for padanamaskar on condition that we won't shout. Warden announced at 3:30 - after Bhajan (seva dal), to Kalyanamantapam in the same order. 

Running to Sai Ramesh Hall and Kalyanamantapam, as Swami had already reached both places. You came and stood, then watched. Tentatively, "Talk to us, Swami". You spoke to Warden, "No value for My words, so I shouldn't speak". Told him to speak. I had eyes filled, watching You standing there, leaning on the chair, so beautiful. "Sai Ma, with Lakshmi and Saraswati serving ..." As he also beseeched You to speak, You obliged.

First, stories of Darwin and Henslow. Yad bhavam tat bhavati. (As is the feeling, so it happens.) Then, violin-maker Antonio - one year for making one violin. "His perfection in my work." Only then, "Poornamadah, Poornamidam" also. The only ideal for Man is God. Not just born/grow/die. I asked You, 'HOW to follow'. Story of lamp-lighter, "Janaki Jeevan Ram, Mein Karoongi Tera Kaam." All work is Yours. Senses, body, mind, all are Yours. Bad thoughts are a BIG THIEF - becomes Master. Throw them out like a poisonous snake. "Follow what I said, slap the other person if you see them doing wrong." "I did not send Joga Rao, he came to you as the University man thought Brindavan was less disciplined. I did not say I won't come near you either"

Next: Math 401 Exam
