‘OK, so I seek an answer. How do I get it?’
‘Well the answers are within us. People stay in the ashram for a few weeks to
introspect, they attend satsang and ask questions of one of the gurus. How much
time do you have?’
‘I need to meet my girlfriend for coffee in two hours. Then head back to
Chennai.’
Diana smiled and shook her head. ‘That’s a pretty stiff deadline to sort out
life’s unresolved answers.’
‘Maybe I shouldn’t even try then,’ I said.
‘Wait, see the gentleman there,’ she said and pointed to a seventy-year-old
man in white robes who sat two rows ahead of us. ‘He is a guru. Maybe I can
introduce to him.’
‘No, no, please don’t,’ I said.
‘Why not? If he is busy, he will say no.’
‘Pranam Guruji,’ Diana said and touched his feet. I followed suit and he
blessed us. ‘Guruji, this is my friend. His name is,’ Diana said and paused.
‘Krish.’
‘Yes, he has only two hours. But he wanted to seek answers to some
problems,’ Diana said.
‘What do you have to do in two hours?’ Guruji asked, his voice calm.
‘He has to meet his girlfriend,’ Diana said, excitedly stressing on the last word.
‘And surely, the girlfriend is more important than the problem,’ Guruji smiled.
‘Actually, she is the problem,’ I said.
Diana threw me a puzzled look.
‘Not her. But her family,’ I said. ‘It’s OK. I know it is very little time.’
‘Send him to my house in fifteen minutes,’ Guruji said and left.
