120 rupees= 90 pages

last two days were amazing, spending them in all spiritual places. right starting from AMOL's room(2 nd ramakrishna) to the actual place were Vivekananda meditated. I tried hard everywhere for mirracle to happen..but sometime it was cramp in leg, some bee trying to destract me, some kid running around me or sleep.. some or other reason avoided me to get that transition. Any way i tried hard.
whole three day story will be boaring to write.(although nice to experience). So i will write the last experience. While coming back , i decided not to spend money on any food.(actually i was short of money so i decided to test it). Next to me was sitting one man enjoying all the food whatever it came in my compartment. Whenever he stopped any seller, i had immensed desire to take that food. then i decided i will read the no. of pages equal to no. of rupees he would spent in entire journey. I had huge satisfaction after that and also great motivation. I finished 90 pages of book "practical spirituality" while that man spend amount= rupees 120. Whenever he finished one type of food, he had more desire for next type of food. While whenever he would finish one type of food, i had real joy of controlling my desire and real satisfaction of reading the book.
I learnt from this experiment that real joy is not in satisfying the desires but in postponing them or avoiding them. You can eat the pages (off course by reading) and have more joy than food.
some random thought i had during journey ehich i recollect are
1] Happiness requires money if you are in hurry. That is if you are master of time you can enjoy the happiness irrespective of money.
2] Auto takes rs 80 from XL to station (around 6 km), train takes rs 20 from tatanagar to khadagpur (around 140 km) and cycle rickshaw takes rs 40 from station to iit kharagpur (around 6 km). Nice economical thought to digest in recent days. I will write on this some other day.
3] you should be like railway. When you are running have full enthusiam, making lot of noise and cutting the winds and when you are still be like railway standing in yard.(i think i miss the idea which i had at that moment)
4] In india, women are always respected atleast while travelling in general class or buses.
5] People have immense faith in God in India. But they lack the faith in themselves. We should work out on this.
One more dream,
I should travell around the whole India for period of say 3 month.
