Radhanath Swami Forethought of my Dilemma
By admin on July 24, 2010 | Category: Sensitivity | Tags: doctor, Radhanath Swami | 142 CommentsWhen I retired as the University Head of the Department of Chemistry, Bombay University, the sixty-odd research students I had guided during my career arranged for a one day symposium in my honor. For me, it was the second biggest occasion of the year, next only to the ceremony wherein I was awarded as the best university teacher for the entire state of Maharashtra.
On the scheduled day, I found myself sharing the stage with scientists, Vice Chancellors of Universities and many other dignitaries. The loudspeakers thundered my name, announcing my glories, but my mind drifted elsewhere. I could hear it whisper, “How wonderful it would be if Radhanath Swami were here.” I had invited him for the occasion, but he hadn’t turned up.
That weekend I met Radhanath Swami at the temple. His visage conveying both apology and concern, his words spoke out his heart. “If I had come for the symposium, you would have qualms about even sitting on stage. You would be discomforted all through the event, with me, your teacher, looking up at you from amongst the audience.”
Knowing my orthodox cultural background, he had rightly forethought of my dilemma and had thus avoided the situation by his absence. He had dived deep below the surface of superficial norms to avoid any discomfort to my mind. And in the process, though his concern, he comforted my heart.
