1994-05-29 - Sunday - Lunch with Swami

Late awakening - 6:40. So, couldn't do anything else but ablutions. UCR (amplifier which had a built-in cassette tape deck) conked out - so when Swami came out, direct bhajans. After Swami went in (Nichani family) Chaitanya putty work on roof, Sir Hostel, Sevadal trying out UCR. I was at the Peavey (meaning right outside the AVR (Audio Visual Room) door, watching the interview room door in case Swami came out). Then, Sir sent me to dining hall to fix speakers OK. Warden went to call Swami, and He came! Luckily it was "Darsh Dikhao Bhagawan" instrumental (being played at that time over the speakers). After Brahmaarpanam, S. G. Sir called me down (from the Audio Visual Room of the Hostel), made me eat. Swami was just going - came to my row and looked.

After  Puri, Fried-Rice, Jalebi, Payasam, Rasagolla, Raita curry, went to AVC to last out a jazzy fusion and Clayderman given by S. G. Sir. Then, RD and Flip-flops. Milk + 1 Bread-bajji (at tea-time, as Swami had instructed yesterday). S. G. Sir had gone before us. 

Trayee - Mr. Haksar put all to sleep. Then, Swami sparkled. Only You can wake everyone up. Hard work is really Heart work - not exertion. Satisfy the conscience. Faith is more important than Wisdom. Stories of cyclist without light and brakes (wisdom and sense-control) and Shaastrajna (one well versed in the scriptures, can also mean Scientist) without faith in his own words to milkmaid to cross river.

Anyway, put me in a very good mood. Then, room allotments on notice board. (Room) A1, A06 (cupboard number allotted to me). All 2nd year padipists (meaning studious guys - are to be my roommates). For some time, "discussion" - meaning wasting time. Finally sat down at 8:30 to write this. Rajesh Singh claims to turn "spiru" as he is in A4 - notorious room.
