Liquor,Gurus, and other matters

Liquor,Gurus, and other matters​

A few days back we were eating lunch, watching TV too, as Karan Dewan my brother, he was here for a short visit, was surfing the TV for the news on the Mumbai blasts, he passed a few channels of babas preaching. No names here, but some of them are funny, their mannerisms , how they pause for effect, just like politicians do when they want to deliver the killer punch.


My other brother then broke in , about Babas, and I am sure all of us brothers will go to Hell, bcs of the united curses of the living Gurus !


He said, that he had been to the initial satsang of a Guru, about two decades back,when the Guru was just new, and he said to the vast followers, that I would be very happy, if fewer people came to my satsangs, and instead stayed at home, to dwell more upon what they had heard from him, and his predecssors, and he said I would be the happiest, if one day there is no one to hear me at the satsang, that day I would know I have succeeded .


He said, why do u come to Satsang, why do u fall in love with the Guru, u should fall in love with Guru’s preachings, not the Guru, and we preach the same things over and over in different ways, the matter is the same, that do good, do no evil, mediate, remove anger and lust etc etc.


He ended with, that it is useless to fall in love with the physical form of the Guru, so don’t come to see me, or try to touch me, or try to pick up the dust from the ground over which I walk, don’t idolize me, don’t put my pictures at home, or in lockets.


That is when Eureka struck me. I told everyone then, that I have become a evolved soul listening to all this, and everyone started to look at me, for they consider me a gone case anyway !!!


I said, we go to the liquor shop, to buy whiskey, the nasha is in the whiskey, not in the shopkeeper. We should not fall in love with the Shop keeper, but with the whiskey, for the shopkeeper can change every day, it will not make a difference to us, as long as we get our fix of intoxication. So the whiskey is more important than the owner of the shop eh !


And then I remembered a song “ Agar daru ki Bottle mein Nasha Hota, to bottle Jhoomti”
Meaning, if the intoxication was in the liquor bottle, the bottle would sway !!!

So the inner material Is more important than the exterior, teachings more important than the Guru himself or herself as the case may be.


Well at Satya Sai baba’s town, since SSB is no more people have stopped coming, there is no business now for the shopkeepers, flats under construction they are offering 40% discount, but no takers !!!


How can they call themselves smart businessmen, did they not see SSB getting old and frail, did they think he would not die and leave his mortal remains behind , then what will happen to their investments ? They are themselves to blame, if they thought Baba would live forever eh !


I discard the whiskey bottle after I polish off the contents, but I guess some people love the bottle more, they discard the contents and pray and worship the bottle ! Well each to their own really.


After my last blog Rajbala, where in I stressed the need for the business communities to take care of themselves rather than depend on the police, I think the Zaveri Bazar traders read my blog, and today papers said, they will now install cameras, and monitor them, they will give the contract to an outside company !


They did have 32 cameras, manned one lone employee, half the cameras were spoilt and rotten. Now they have woken up to the stark reality, that Apna Haath Jaaganath !


And today times of India middle page, had an article by a lady , which started with “ Dear Baba Ramdev”, and it reminded me of my blog posted some time back, almost the same things that I said.


Are people reading my blogs, and copying them too ? I wonder really.


Phone tapping I thought was happening only in India, with Amar Singh cribbing about his talks with starlets, like Bipasa, and then we had Radia Tapes, but now I come to know that Rupert Murdoch, was doing this since long, maybe our agencies got ideas from him eh !





Take care ladies and gentlemen, no offence meant to anyone here, just some thoughts that come now and then.

Dear Chitra,

Now that is a cute looking me, where did u get my pic from eh ! HAHA
Well in our particular family as a kid is two or three, as every male in the family drinks, sometimes on thekids birthday or some occasion, a finger is put in the whiskey and we make the kid lick it.so the initiation starts in childhood.Strange for u, for i know u dont drink, i mean yr families dont drink.

So yes i remember that song, Dilip kumar one
Mujhe duniya walon sharabi na samjo, main peeta nahin hoon, pilai gayi hai.
