Daaji said, “A real Sahaj Margi is a pilgrim on the path towards divinity; someone who has moved away from ‘I, me and mine’ to ‘Thou’. This understanding automatically unfolds when we arrive at the state Babuji describes as the ‘living dead’. It does not mean physical death, but a psychological death where we slowly replace ‘I’ with God. When ‘I’ is replaced by Him, life becomes completely natural or sahaj. This is what is meant by ‘life in life’. Life in life is real life.”
Daaji spent almost the entire morning inspecting the ongoing work at various places in Kanha, meeting the project leads and guiding them.
He met up with Srikanth, Satyan and Sudhir Marwaha to discuss a project on the expansion of the existing ponds and water reservoirs in Kanha. He suggested the Heartyculture Nursery team to trim all the trees regularly, little by little, so that the trees grow better and at the same time the team’s workload is reduced in the future.
Later he visited the site office and discussed a few civil projects with Sudhir Marwaha. He went around the interiors studio and suggested a few add-ons to make it look more attractive.
After reaching home, between 11.20 am. and 12 pm, Daaji had a discussion with Vinay and Balaji regarding a construction project.
After lunch, he shared some of his reflections. Daaji said, “A real Sahaj Margi is a pilgrim on the path towards divinity; someone who has moved away from ‘I, me and mine’ to ‘Thou’. This understanding automatically unfolds when we arrive at the state Babuji describes as the ‘living dead’. It does not mean physical death, but a psychological death where we slowly replace ‘I’ with God. When ‘I’ is replaced by Him, life becomes completely natural or sahaj. This is what is meant by ‘life in life’. Life in life is real life.”
In the evening, between 6 p.m. and 7.30 p.m., Daaji met up with a few dignitaries and seekers in his office. The guests included Subbarao Vaddadi, director of B-LNG, and film director, Kishore Kumar Pardasani.
Subbarao had a discussion with Daaji regarding the installation of LNG, CNG, biogas and solar power units at Kanha. They also spoke about helping villagers run their tractors with biogas, and providing training to make them aware about the health hazards of alcohol.
Later Sai Nath, an eminent Indian author, met Daaji and presented him with his latest book, Daily Prayers.
After the meetings and discussions, Daaji conducted a short meditation and then left for home.
Around 10.30 p.m., while talking about meditation, Daaji remarked, “Meditation is a subtle link that connects the limited with the unlimited, atman with the Paramatma, mortal with the immortal, within us, where the kingdom of truth, the kingdom of the divine and everything resides.”
With this, he retired for the night.
