I remember the old days when a dear friend used to often comment that Sunil you are talking of 'Ram Rajya'.
His comment was not on the stories that I would tell him of Lord Rama's time but on the discourses and talks which I shared from Sangat. I could understand his psychology which was based on how the world was around but fortunately I was shown another world too.
I'm glad that over the period of time he has been able to appreciate the message of the Mission. On a recent trip to Delhi, the above old conversation between friends came back to my mind. When? Here it is when....
I was standing in a long queue to get some eatable from canteen at Nirankari Samagam. As soon as I reached the counter I was told that the item that I was standing to get was to be bought in coupons of Rs.12. However I was only carrying coupons for Rs.10.
Since the queue was long I could not understand what would be the appropriate action at that point of time. Should I go and purchase additional coupons for Rs. 2 and stand back in the long queue again? Or should I request the saint to take Rs. 2 change in addition to the Rs. 10 coupons and give me the item?
Before I could decide on any appropriate action this saint himself offered to give me the item in exchange of Rs. 10 coupons and asked me to get Rs. 2 coupon from the coupon counter. As soon as I heard this I became a bit relaxed, and started to think that I would come back and hand over the Rs. 2 coupon to this Saint. Caught up in my own thoughts I failed to realise that his instruction was not yet complete he was further adding that 'buy Rs 2 coupons from the coupon counter and tear it off.'
I was totally surprised by his sentence he was not asking me to bring remainder coupons to him but was trusting me that I will get the remainder coupons and also tear it off on my own. I was really glad and also thankful at the same time that such an atmosphere existed where people trusted each other however this is only because Guru stood in between.
While it was kind of him to think in this way and also the amount involved was not too big but it also reminded me that I have a responsibility to be able to fulfil the trust other people keep in me because of Guru. May God bless that there are more and more pleasant experiences in everybody's life so that trust in each other gets strengthened.
I myself could not go to get the remainder coupons but I asked another saint to go and get it for me and tear it off. She was not able to understand what I meant by tearing it. But when I shared the rationale behind, her surprise came to an end....with smile on her face.
Smile because of 'Ram Rajya'.
