From ah to ha..


Sacred jokes don’t travel well.
They have nowhere they can go…


He told me how as a young seeker
he went to the guru and asked
about the nature of the Brahman…

The guru’s eyes twinkled as he said,
That’s a very good question…
not many people ask that…:

here’s a pen and paper;
now write your question carefully;
fold it neatly;
now put it in your dhoti kurta pocket there

and when you meet the Brahman,
ask Him the same question…’
