Summer Course 1991 group photo from my "Swami albums", which oddly enough doesn't have me in it, but does have Pingali (mentioned in today's diary) on the extreme right.
Subba Rao said Viyoga gives pain. But really, it is not mind, not thoughts, which are responsible for this - the feeling that I am man is responsible for sorrow. Separation. Time is God. Don't waste Time. Sadhana is "Good" "Wealth" - riches, education, strength, all are Dhana. Vittam - that which is earned.
You are not the body. You are God. Do work to satisfy the conscience. God is not separate from the conscience. That is real Sadhana. Anything else is just to satisfy the mind. 4Fs - Follow the Master, Face the Devil, Fight till the end, Finish the game. The Master is the conscience.
Bhur, Bhuvah, Suvah - are not outside self. Lack of Shraddha - absent-minded. Real Self-confidence is Trust in God. Examples from worldly life are like Brahmin pointing out Arundhati star, "At the tip of the tree".
Sugar is in all. If not sweet, not human at all - without human value. Spending crores for human value development is a waste. Nothing needs to be given separately. Give up selfish Ego.

Today's really a three-star day. Jogging + "handball" match in newly bulldozed ragi fields (new football ground). Swami came for sevadal padanamaskar, so I was late for Physics class (test) though I left when in the middle of Swami's round. Jain Sir didn't mind when I waited in main lab and apologized. JFETs was only class, except Pingali's seminar on Riemann surfaces. Afternoon - tested mixer circuit - working. Now only need to get 2 working 741Cs! When reached Hostel, Krishna Kant (one year junior to me, roommate) told me sevadal's message, "System (SRH - Sai Ramesh Hall) disturbed while welding!" Ran to finish toilet, Krishna reminded that S. G. Sir had gone to the city. Ran to Warden, before I opened my mouth, he gave me the key! Ran to SRH, Dr. Hegde - "Don't get confused" sent Chaitanya and BK to see connections, put cassette, mics, monitor. Chaitanya put insulation, I put for ladies' side "silk wire" (twisted-pair electrical wire is colloquially known as silk wire) hanging down.
Then Swami came just after Sir, came inside (to my great relief - His Blessings for the PA system), sneezed twice, blew His nose (S. G. Sir gave kerchief), went out! I had looked towards Trayee while running, troubleshooting - "You should take care, it's Your own work." Must have this same feeling for all good work.
