The No-Body who lived in Everybody’s heart

Param Guru Poojya Rishi Prabhakarji.  was a teacher of Akarma Yog ( Non-Doing )
He taught the world how to be a Nobody ( not to be limited by one’s physical, emotional, intellectual, social body).
He sincerely practiced his own teachings and transcended his physical body on February 16th 2014 and became a true Nobody – The Universal Being. Today is Poojya Guruji’s Punyatithi.
To me it feels very contradictory that we still celebrate birthdays and death anniversaries. One who has realized that their existence is not limited to their life and death, it seems like a joke. Their life is celebration every moment. Remembering how he used to live his life is a great lesson for me. He was never stuck in the past and thoughts of future would never trouble him. His vision was always 200 years ahead. Every moment whether comfortable or painful, he treated as an opportunity for learning something.
His enthusiasm was infectious. Like a child he would be interested in every aspect of life. In a casual chat with him he would show such keen interest in what is happening in our life that suddenly even mundane things would start seeming like some great phenomenon. It was a sheer delight watching him talking, playing with kids. His conversation with even 2 or 3 year olds in Matru Mandir seemed like discussion between 2 scientists.
He cared for everyone around him. Educating people on how to use the Yoga Sadhana to increase inner freedom discovering our special purpose in life so that we can happily offer ourselves to the world has been his life mission. Until his last breath in the physical world he followed his passion. It was impossible to feel low or depressed in his company.
Everyday since I was blessed by his grace, I offer my love, gratitude and every effort of my life at the feet of my Guru. Guru is a title given to the spiritual master. Guruji was my spiritual Guru. Because he introduced me to my own spirit. He also taught me how to share my spirit with world in a simple way. He opened my eyes to seeing a Guru in every person, every situation, every pain and joy in my life. He transformed me into being an ongoing learner.
My prostations to my Guru.

Cooking for self

Today I cooked for myself:) yes I made the favorite of everyone sabudana khichadi for myself:) unbelievable ! It’s favorite of my girls, Milind and whoever has eaten it before. Every Time, I cooked it for them. From the time I started making the sabudana khichadi I always made for everyone who was a centre of my life then and who loved to eat it:) first for Milind then for girls, family, special guests then for children’s friends:)

Today also I planned to make it for a visitor who loved it. But he canceled his visit last minute and I thought I will keep everything in fridge and prepare tomorrow for Mithu when she comes.

Suddenly I realized that I was actually looking forward to eating it myself for breakfast and felt a deep disappointment that I can’t eat it now. Then I saw how untruthful I am! All these years I kept making others the purpose for receiving a simple joy for myself. In the cover of giving joy to someone else I was actually pleasing myself.

Today I decided to authentically cook my favorite sabudana khichadi for no one else but myself. And I made it exactly how I like it, little less on salt n chilies, slightly crispy with lots of cilantro and ate with lots of yogurt:)

Also enjoyed it watching my favorite old Raj Kapoor movie on YouTube:)

My god a simple decision made me feel such freedom from untruth I was holding as my greatness:):)

Sabudana khichadi is indeed divine:)
