This morning after breakfast in Sathya’s cafe I joined the first time Satsang with Ganga Maa in Sri Jnana Mandiram Ashram. It’s a beautiful new building, around 200 people were joining. Ganga Maa joined the room at 09:30. She has a nice vibrance and is quite humorous. People can ask questions here, Ganga Maa will answer, or not. The “Who am I?” question came up and it is a question a drunkard could be asking. She said we have forgotten who we are. My question is, at what point in human evolution mankind would have known this? When mankind was young, there was no thinking like “Who am I?”. The brain was not developed yet, a donkey is not asking, “Who am I?”. Since the brain developed more and more, including the mind, mankind has to learn how to use this mind, becoming a master of the mind and not a slave. Just using the mind as a tool.
I haven’t done much today, after Satsang I was back in my apartement. Marina showed up, a Spanish woman staying in 1st floor of the building. I was telling her that I will do the walk around Arunachala hill today, as there is fullmoon Sat. at 03:00. She said but today is just Thursday. Good that we alked about it, I will walk tomorrow 😊
I had my obligatory nap and when I woke up I was not sure going to the Ashram or not. I did. When I entered the Ashram I was thinking about this bag I have seen with several people. There is a quote about the “Who am I” on this bag. I came to the dining hall, people were waiting for the tea offering. My Indian friend Charanbir was sitting outside. He is a really friendly guy from Chandigar in Punjab, we met already several times here. The first thing he did, he gave me this bag as a gift, he got one from the Ashram shop for me. I was very happy about this gift, what a surprise.
I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow night when I want to walk.
