In the presence of spiritual seekers, no shyness in
a shy two-year-old child
My daughter Maitreyi, when two years old, was
very shy around anyone that she met for the first time. She would not say anything
at all when they were around. When I was in Aurangabad, India some time ago,
I needed to buy some books on Spirituality, published by the Sanatan
organization.
So, I, along with my daughter, went to visit the residence of Mr. Deshmukh, a
seeker, who keeps a stock of Sanatan organization’s books at his residence
there. Mr. Deshmukh had come to pick us up in his car. On our way, surprisingly,
my daughter was very happy and comfortable. She started singing her favorite
rhymes. This really astonished me, as she was meeting Mr. Deshmukh for the first
time. I, too, felt as if I had known all the seekers in India all my life, even
though I was meeting them for the first time. |
