Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Following our resolution to put into practice Bhagawan Baba' s directive to speak softly and sweetly, it is interesting to observe that our highly intellectual Brothers are often speaking of 'sweets'. Some time back, it was a generous helping of 'barfi' and now it is a feast of 'gulab jamun'. The 'barfi' is a North Indian delight. The 'gulab jamun' is an Indian sweet ,highly coveted by the Indo Mauritians; it has its origin in Bihaar and Calcutta; it was introduced in the Island by the identured labourers who brought it in their treasured recipe book along with other goodies from the Motherland (Bharat) Gulaab means gulaab ke phool that is the Rose Jamun means black (or blue) Hence Gulab Jamun means the Black Rose Should we try to downlink still further from our head to our heart, we discover that Gulab is SIA and Jamun is RAM Hence the gulab jamun is one of GOD's creations IT is all a matter of interpretation. Is LOVE desire (thrisna) or God (Krishna )? Each one is master of his own mind (head) hence his own interpretation (heart) Bhagawan Baba has recently said "better fish than selfish". What do we do next? Do we rush to the nearest Sushi Bar and relish on salmon and tuna sushi, octopus and crab meat shashimi or do we direct our thought to the moot point of the message---which is, to refrain from selfish (egoistic) deeds and to share our sweets with our next of kin. at the lotus feet of SAI anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Dearest Anita: You are one of Sai's jewels, given to us so we can learn and experience and remember. I talk sweetly most of the time, but I am a work in progress; But I will work even more diligently on it. Thank you for the reminder to live for all life matters.
