At this week's Awakin gathering in Baroda, Swara shared a conversation she had with 6-year-old Aum (son of Ragu and Nisha, who moved from tech work in California to a farm in South India).
Aum (spontaneously jumping in front of Swara): Who are you?
Swara (a little surprised): I am Swara.
Aum: That's your name, but who are you?
Swara (suddenly in deep thought): I am Swara and I teach kids like you.
Aum: So you work as a teacher but who are you?
Swara (now smiling but playing along): What if I don't know who I am,
Aum? How should I find out?
Aum (stressing each word): Sit Down- Meditate.
Swara (awe-struck, but pushes the conversation further): Ok! So, Aum, once I meditate and know who I am, what will happen? What will happen if I know who I am?
Aum (stretches out his right hand and puts it in front of his forehead, indirectly referencing Neo in Matrix): Bullets will stop here!
Swara was spell bound then and so were all of us heard the retelling of this beautiful conversation. Everyone offered a blessing for Aum -- and also Raghu-Nisha for the mind blowing upbringing of their child.
