Funny Thank you

We are continuing the series about the "Funny" serious stuff we do.

We talked about "Funny sorry".

Today about "Funny Thank You".

The "funny sorry" is a lot of time accompanied by the "funny thank you".

For example, while walking towards a door at the same time with somebody. If the door is not big enough for two, one if not both of them will say "Sorry". One will stop and say: "Please go ahead". The other one will say: "Thank you".

We we buy something we say: "Sorry to bother you, can I have a ...". "Sure here we are". we pay and they we say: "Thank you." The employee say also "Thank you for buying". When he or she give us the change we say: "Thank you". While we leave, he tells us: "Have a nice day!" We reply: "Thanks a lot, you too!". He says: "Thank you"

We also go to the doctor and after a 5 minutes consultation again we say "Thank you so much" even if we pay for the visit.

The children have to say "Thank you for the meal" after eating even if it might be the parents that should thank for the opportunity.

We say "Thank you" when our boss gives us the paycheck :) He says: "Thank you for the had work". We then say: "Thank you" for his praise. "It is great to work here", we say. "Great to know, thank you. It is great to have you here" he says. "Thank you", we say.

We take a cab and say "Thank you for the ride". The driver says: "Thank you for the tip, have a nice day..."

you get the idea :)

True story: To help or not to help

Here is another story. And involves also my friend George from Mantra for Ego.

Same place, "Sunny Meadow", a nice camp in the mountains of Romania where we spent with yogis the New Year in the early 90s.

As there were so many of us, the water at the washrooms was not enough so we needed to go outside (it was winter!!!) and wash our faces and teeth in the morning using the water of a small river passing by.

We felt very proud as we were (or pretended to be) detached of the cold.

I was sitting near George, brushing our teeth, when he lost his balance.

Now, this small river, creek actually was only around 1 m wide so you can easily jump over it.

When he lost his balance, he tried to jump on the other side.

I noticed only that he lost his balance and I tried to help, pulling him back.

Now you probably remember from high school Physics studies. If you apply 2 opposite equal forces to an object, it stays put.

So did George, who tried to jump over the creek, I pulled him back, so he was very curious why he stopped somewhere in the air. Gravity helped him to fall right into the middle of the creek.

It took all of us, including George, some time to stop laughing.

Funny "Sorry"

One friend was combing her daughter's hair when she pulled it a little too hard.

"Ouch!!!" said her daughter

"Oops, I am so sorry" said her mom right away. "I did not mean it!"

"Then why do you say 'sorry'... You should never be sorry for things you did not mean!"

While this is a simple story it shows how much wiser the children are compared to adults (not that we needed much proof for that). We feel and say sorry for so many things we have not control.

We feel sorry if it rains when we organize a party for somebody.

We feel sorry when we do not know about a friends problem and we don't help. We also feel sorry if we help but it does not turn as we wanted.

What is the funniest thing you feel sorry for?

Let me start: I feel guilty when my left Vishuddi catches...

Left-Sided or Right-Sided

From Alla

Where is your Mind?

Almost a year ago, we were on a Sahaja Yoga public program in Mulund, Mumbai and a Sahaja yogi friend came wearing a t-shirt that read "Body and Soul".

I asked him that your body and soul is here, but "where's your mind?".

We all started laughing and the pleasant mood favored the public program.

Future of Sahaja Yoga (part 2)

(read Part One here)

There was quiet for a short while, then John asked:

- I still have few questions. I cannot seem to find the answer to them

- Sure, ask them, but for most of them the answer is Love.

- Sorry?!?

- Go ahead and ask...

- So what is the most important thing we should do to help people? Give realization, organize big program, seminars?

- None, just love them...

- How is it lots of them come but they are not attracted to our programs?

- Because you don't know how to love them...

- How should we organize ourselves?

- Don't...

- How will loving them help? We still have to do our programs don't we?

- Love is like the fragrance of a flower. They will feel it and they will come and stick around. It does not matter how the flowers are organized in a meadow, does it?!?

The psychologist lemon

Via Silvana (Italy):

An interesting technique for improving ourselves comes from Ukraine (or so).

A nice, big lemon needs to be involved in it.

We invite the lemon to get vibrations, then we just take it, hold it in our hand and then very sweetly we tell it all our problems and... it will absorb all of them!

This is not an official techique, but try to believe it!

There is no end to creativity...

This might be a true story, said as a joke by the organizer of a program in Ukraine. Or maybe somewhere else... Or maybe it is not even true. But it is funny :)

True stories: what does "balanced" mean

From Gita:

Recently in our class.

New participant: "If I catch on the left and on the right Vishuddi, is my Vishuddi then balanced?"

Answer (without thinking): "No, that means it's messed up."

True stories - enlightened lemons

From Silvana (Italy)

It happened many years ago, during one of the first classes I have attended.

The teacher was explaining us a few techniques for clearing our chakras, when he started with a new one called "matka".

We were supposed to use lemons and chillies.

So he said: "Take 7 nice lemons and put them to MEDITATE in front of Shri Mataji's picture..." at that point, after an immediate surprise, everybody started laughing while thinking of the lemons meditating...

True stories - Mantra for Ego

This happened some time ago, at a nice camp "Sunny Meadow" in Carpathians, Romania.

We all sat for meditation, very serious, truly understanding the importance of the moment.

My good friend George was leading the meditation, going through different mantras for chakras.

When we reached Agnya, he said:

"Let's now say the mantra for Ego: Mother you are not doing anything, I am doing everything!"

I do not know if he did it on purpose, but the result was explosive. We all started laughing and we did not stop for a while!!!
