    About this ebook

    Being Pujya Guruji's disciple has been the single largest privilege of my life. Learning from him was two-fold : online and offline I learnt a lot from his various programmes and public talks, from his audio tapes and books, from the umpteen number of conversations I had with him, alone or with a group, formal or informal. All this was online learning.

    There was one more way I learnt from him. Simply by observing him. By reading between the lines. By putting two and two together. Simply by 'being' in his mighty presence.

    This book is a collection of a few of spiritual learnings, my personal anecdotes with my master, episodes that left me rich with wisdom! And it can do the same for you! Besides the same, it has its touch of humour, sadness, wonder, gratitude and a whole range of other emotions that only a true Zen-like master can evoke!

    Thank you Guruji for all that you have given to me and the entire world! Thank you Guruji for all that you were! Thank you Guruji for all that you are!

      Thank You Guruji - Manoj Lekhi

      My Guru To Me

      My Guruji Shri Rishi Prabhakar

      Is an extra ordinary person

      Is a greatly evolved soul

      You may ask me why do I say so?

      Well, Not because he is an aeronautical engineer

      Not because he is a management graduate from Canada Not because he has got a masters degree

      Not because he is a computer scientist

      But, for these are only his small qualifications.

      His greatness lies in not knowing that he has all these qualifications

      In fact he has forgotten all these degrees He has once again become a child

      He is simply great

      Great because he sees greatness in others

      He is a true master

      Not because he has attained mastery in philosophy

      Not because he has attained mastery in medicine

      Not because he has attained mastery in education

      Not because he has attained mastery in agriculture, ecology, and psychology

      But because he is so so simple

      Simplicity is his way

      Simplicity is his approach

      To me my Guruji is god

      In fact, he is god incarnate to all those

      Who are fortunate to spend a few moments in his presence

      There is something divine about Guruji

      In fact divinity is just pouring out

      He is such an ordinary person

      Which makes him an extra ordinary being

      He is truly a simple soul

      Which makes him a greatly evolved soul

      He not only cares for me

      But cares for everyone around him

      He not only cares for everyone around him

      But for every living and non living creature in this world

      This whole universe is his

      In fact, he is the whole universe

      Amrut vivek (Manojji) (14-12-98)

      Guruji Shree Rishi Prabhakar

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      This book is dedicated to my master Guruji Rishi Prabhakar who has guided me in all areas for the last 25 years. He opened up for me the path of infiinite abundance.

      He has given me the key to MONEY, WEALTH and ABUNDANCE. He has shown me the way to vairagya (detachment). He has given me the gift of silence, a world full of love, the freedom to do what I love to do. He has taught me the art of appreciation, the value of serving everyone, how to bring up children, how to be a wonderful husband – in short, anything and everything under the sun. He has taught me how to LIVE LIFE KING SIZE ON AN EMPTY WALLET!

      To him I bow down in surrenderfulness!

      Tasmay Shri Gurave Namah!

      My gratitude also goes out to all the SSY teachers and meditators who have directly or indirectly helped me become who I am today.

      I wish to thank Meera Mahadevia, Rashmi Thakur, Lekhha Nair, Julie Bhatia, Clair Corda and Dipali Pawaskar for assistance in the compiling, correcting, transcribing and re-writing of the work.

      I wish to thank Kavita for managing the logistics of the sale of this book, Rupali & Komal for the designing and Rajen Jariwala for the remarkable formatting, layout and pre-press work.

      I would also like to thank Bhaavin for his exhaustive editing of the book and for overseeing the publishing operations. I wish to thank Arundhati Ma whose understanding of, and quest for, abundance gels with mine.

      Finally, once again, I would like to initiate this book with my pranaams to my master, Guruji Shri Rishi Prabhakar.

      A Student and a Disciple

      A student has got a teacher

      A disciple has got a guru

      A student listens to the teacher’s words

      A disciple listens to the gap in between the words.

      A student learns ‘about’ the culture

      A disciple ‘imbibes’ the culture

      A student learns out of respect

      A disciple learns out of love.

      A student operates from mind

      A disciple operates from heart

      A student analyses the teacher

      A disciple is drunk and intoxicated by the Guru

      A student lives in dualities

      A disciple is beyond dualities in Samadhi

      The life of the student remains ‘chalta hai’

      The life of a disciple is ‘Bliss’

      A student lives by history

      A
