\I worked for some time on a solar project with many wonderful souls from Ananda. Several years ago on this project, I had worked out some complicated pressure and thermal dynamic equations, and I thought our solar project wouldn’t work. I came to Swamiji in a huff with pages and pages of equations that demonstrated it wouldn’t work. He simply and calmly said, “You should check those equations with Dharana.” Dharana by the way is an actual rocket scientist, a great yogi, and a dear friend.

When Master was told about it, he said “ah, these are the things that please me.” The next day during the Christmas celebration at the Pune Ashram more guests than were expected came. Those monks that were in tune, again gave up their seats. I’ve always wondered how many of the monks noticed that Swami told the story the day before, and how many just gave up their seats out of natural
