Serenity
I remember lot of years back, visited a Bombay Dying shop in Koramangala Bangalore to purchase some bedsheets with spouse. The owner of the shop was a Sadarji, the shop was a decent sized one say about 800 sq feet+. He was standing behind the counter to attend to the customers. All my life and have seen multiple cities, cultures and lot of different kind of people but have never seen a more serene and calm personality. Its not that he was silent but he spoke as much as was required but he had an eerie sense of calm which I still remember after so much time. The way he spoke in a very assertive manner was astonishing. Not to over estimate but it was godlike. He had an aura which was very distinguished and has/have never seen. Mesmerizing
Trust me when I say - the so called enlightened ones who preach would take multiple re-incarnations to achieve that aura.
Years later I visited that lane where the shop was and to my dismay, the earlier one was replaced by some other. I felt the blood went cold and for the reason could not see him again, which I wanted this time to ask him, what he does
Why is this significant - go to the maximum city in India thats Bombay (I still like to call it this way) and observe the people who travel in the train when they come out of major stations in the morning and when they go back home in the evening. There is an air of despondency, submission to the fate/destiny. The serenity is missing, people running to get to something (which is is unknown in most cases)
Where ever you are Sadarji, may not meet again but your aura will stay with me for ever
