It was a delight to see a man of profound wisdom, all pervasive connections and tremendous influence to be humble to the hilt anchored perpetually to the goal of national resurrection and inducing the same during that 2.5 hour of dinner interaction.
The straightforwardness to assert the strengths and openly accepting the weaknesses coupled with the firmness to alleviate the same through multifarious interventions, is a trait which only honest and hardworking optimists can only unleash at ease without reproach even amidst the ongoing downpour of malicious negativity being perpetrated from several quarters.
The organiser in him went beyond sheer philosophising & enunciating high octane precepts and made a direct humane connect ridden with causeless affection and care making a silent but significant transformation.
The serene smile signifying a deeper sense of contentment just quashed all concerns at once and gave a much larger and deeper perspective for advancing in life without compromising on the foundational values or deviating from the chosen vision.
So much so far from a man who is an integral member of the 'saffron-khaki' clan, which is demonised and derided at the drop of an handkerchief by the now-collapsing coterie of inimical forces who somewhere get terrified by the frugal sattvic lifestyles of these swayamsevaks who have an eternal anti-dote to all negativity.
The dinner spread at his 145 South Avenue based residence answered the underlying secret of it all. It was the typical Indian sattvic mix of healthy food, chapatis, daal, sabji, salad et al, interestingly without onion & garlic cooked with extreme finesse.
This dinner meeting with Dr Sahasrabuddhe unraveled the manifestation of the over-arching principle of Indian Civilization which has emphasised upon simple living and high thinking.
It's all about lifestyles at the end of the day. It drives and governs your thought process and makes you what you are.
