It was a cool and cloudy day as Daaji conducted group meditation in the morning before moving out to the next destination, a brief halt at Maksi.

The halt at Maksi was at the cold storage factory of a brother practitioner. The place had been arranged to welcome Daaji and facilitate a comfortable stay for him as a stopover.

Comfortable arrangements for rest and a sumptuous lunch arrangement had been made for the group traveling with Daaji as well. It was a deep feeling of gratitude that

prevailed in each of the group members traveling with Daaji for the manner in which they were being looked after by all the host centres. After resting for a while, Daaji proceeded ahead to the next stop of the tour - Ratlam.

Daaji arrived at Ratlam and proceeded to the place of stay - a beautiful farmhouse thathad been well prepared to welcome him. There was a good downpour happening as if

to welcome him there. Immediately as he arrived, he remarked upon the beautiful open space in the farmhouse that appealed to him. When one of the group suggested that he

could have a good place to walk there, he wistfully commented that despite the open place, he would hardly be given the space to do so - again a lesson for us to learn on

prioritising his needs above our pressing demands for his time and attention. He was met by a number of guests and practitioners who greeted him and then showed him the

plans for the Shivgarh Plantation project. After a while, Daaji decided to conduct group meditation early at the venue. He arrived at the hall and conducted group meditation for

a large number of new seekers and practitioners present. After this he returned to the farmhouse. Being very tired, Daaji immediately went to rest and did not have dinner. It

served as a lesson for us to be considerate of his need for rest and recuperation as the foremost priority in our service towards him. His tireless efforts in burning himself out for his work and service towards his Master can never be matched by anything that we can ever do.
