Sunday morning was a busy one. Daaji came to conduct meditation and the hall was completely filled. Somehow, with creative adjustments while also abiding by all the safety codes, an additional capacity for 100 seats was created, and yet many meditated outside in tents and the cottage.

After the wonderful meditation session, it was followed by a lovely question-and-answer session with the members who joined the Heartfulness movement through Quora. What was palpable throughout the session was the feeling of melting hearts as Daaji answered the questions.

Q: Good morning, good morning I'm 16 and I've been practicing meditation for about a year now. And the question I have here today is the one that's been bugging me for months. So people are easily replaceable. Even if there is a superior goal or purpose, just like how one droplet of water removed doesn't affect the ocean, One single person wouldn't affect the greater the grand scheme of things we are replaceable, and the world will still go on without us as in the big picture. So what is the significance of an individual in this world?

Daaji: When each drop makes the ocean, to think that the world will go on without one entity is wrong. Because where will this one entity go out in this world? What is another world to go out into? The whole thing is logically floppy. You see, either you can contribute wisely, choose not to contribute, or contribute negatively. So each one has a ripple effect.

You must have heard of the butterfly effect. Some butterflies flip wings in Amazon forests and cause snow storms in North America. So everyone has an impact in this universe. So let's not underestimate ourselves. And we need to look at ourselves from a spiritual perspective. The spirit within is far more potent than atomic bombs. So that is the scale of it. So the only thing we have to do is understand or realize that potential that we all carry within ourselves. You see, it is good to think of oneself as insignificant in a, in very positive way because that makes you humble but yeah, not nothing. You are still a humble flower radiating fragrance. You see, we have beautiful roses, right? They don't say anything; just being who they are makes them all beautiful. But if you, if you had the choice, the free will, the way God gave us all the free will, I will radiate this fragrance only to Christians and I'll stop it. When a Jewish person comes, then that's not the Flowers but against nature. Thank you.

After the session, Daaji met all the practitioners who were present outside and then posed for a group photo with all the members of Quora. They all were delighted with the time they had with Daaji.

In the evening, the hall was even more packed. A special addition to the evening session were friends of Daaji who studied with him in his pharmacy college. They all joined him for the evening. The evening meditation was something else. After meditation, as Daaji stepped out, he asked someone, “Did you enjoy the sitting?” and the answer was a beaming yes.

Daaji had dinner with all his friends at the cottage and then walked back home with his friends.

Prathima Ben is here as well. She landed yesterday and the house is all smiles and the kitchen team has a different energy now.
