Karthi came again in the evening after Harini had left talking to Master. When the master thought he still had a lot to ask, he remembered his young days. After joining the Guru as a disciple he also asked a lot of questions. The Guru never once showed boredom. Answer his every questions with patience. The memory of the Guru lightened the mind.
Karthi first asked, "Did Harini offend you with her questions, Master?"
"There's no offensive question to ask if you're really interested in knowing, Karthi" Karthi enjoyed the answer when the master said that. How true… ..! But how many people can agree with this?
Master asked with a smile. "Didn't I tell you to come on Wednesday morning?"
“Before you start the lesson, I need to ask you one important doubt. I forgot to ask you yesterday. “ Karthi said hesitantly.
"What is your doubt?"
"Is there any way I can learn faster, master? I am compelled to learn faster as much as possible”
Master said quietly. "How quickly can a five-year-old boy become an eighteen-year-old boy, Karthi? Why he is in such a hurry to grow up? To do what?"
Karthi smiled. Master said with a smile. "It has become a necessity to learn faster. Everything is in a hurry for everyone. But nature does anything at its natural pace. The art you want to study is also an aspect of the laws of nature. We cannot rush nature. ”
He liked the parable he told. Fantastic fact. But his haste was not the haste that came from ignorance. This haste is not the haste of present day young man. He is in a position to learn this art fast to know what the enemy is doing and what to do instead. What else he can do?
Karthi told him. “Master time is common to all. So age increases at the same time interval. But isn't there such a common time for reading and understanding? That's why I asked if there was any quick facility here. For example, people say that Adisankarar has attained the eight siddhis at his age of 32. How many people who start to learn out of curiosity like that, will attain at least one siddhi before they turn into 32?”
Master liked the way he asked with an example. Told him patiently. "If one has genuine interest, when the same becomes important than anything else, then learning becomes faster. Although there is no common denominator, there is still a general distance to be traversed mentally and intellectually, Karthi. You are right. At the age of 32, Adisankarar attained all the eight siddhis achieved all the achievements that we could only dream. He might have traversed a common distance in his previous births. If you read the lesson first, you will remember that on the first day of the exam when you turn over the pages of the book. And so is this. It is like remembering the wisdom that he gained in his previous birth now”
Karthi asked. "Then you are saying that if I had traversed a common distance in my previous births, then in this birth I can learn faster"
Master smiled. It seemed hard not to love him. It's not normal to think fast, to understand correctly, to think 'positive' all the time! Told him with a smile.
"If you have learned something related to this yogic arts in your previous births, you can easily remember them now in this birth. Let's see what happens. ”
Karthi wished he had learned something like that in his last birth. Before leaving he touched his leg and bowed and asked. "Master, you didn’t tell me about guru dhatschina."
The master said, "I say at last,"

Senthilnathan was going from Ahmedabad to Mount Abu, he asked the driver of the car for information about Mount Abu in Hindi. He went on to say that Dilwara Jain Temple, Nakki Lake, the highest “Guru Shikar” peak in the Aravalli Range, Achalkar Fort, Achaleswarar Shiva Temple. All of that was memorized for him so he went on to say that each one was flamboyant with its special features. But he did not say anything about the Gurukul he was looking for.
Then he asked softly. "I heard that there is a gurukul there
"Are you asking about Sadanand Swamiji’s Ashram? It is on the way to Guru Shikar. It is not a place for tourists to see. Nothing to see there. That Swamiji does not allow any tourists to have fun. He will chase them away”. The driver smiled as he said.
"How is Swamiji’s character?"
"Nice guy," the driver said respectfully.
"You said he would chase away the tourists"
“He runs his ashram with much discipline. He does not allow people to come there to play or have fun. Even in the ashram, if he finds any of his students to be out of sync with his principles, he will chase away them immediately. Otherwise the man is wise. People say that he has a lot of powers.”
"That's where I want to go”

Sadanand Swamiji’s Ashram was in the quiet area in the Aravalli mountain range. As soon as he entered the ashram, a young man dressed in saffron came and inquired about the purpose of Senthilnathan's arrival. When he told him, he wanted to see Swamiji, the young man asked if he had made an appointment. When he said no, the young man looked at him as if he had done something wrong.
Senthilnathan showed him his police ID card. "I want to know if he knows about a person. This is a secret investigation. That's why I don’t have prior appointment”
He nodded and left. He came back five minutes later. "Swamiji is conducting a class. The class will be over in half an hour. He will meet you after the class is over "
Senthilnathan waited. The ashram was huge. There were a lot of huts there. There was natural prosperity all around. He stood in the doorway and enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere. He could feel the mind automatically calming down in places like this where there is no urban crisis.
In half an hour Swamiji arrived. He looked at the old Swamiji who had long hair and folded his hand respectively and Swamiji also returned the gesture. Senthilnathan, who introduced himself, came straight to the point without beating around the bush.
“Swamiji. I have come to inquire about a man who has a lot of occult powers. I heard you teach something like that too. Is there anyone who was trained by you in Raja Yoga exercises, had astonishing ability that he outshone his own teacher? ”
It seemed to Senthilnathan that an odd expression had come in Swamiji's eye.
