Guest guest Posted August 22, 2001 Report Share Posted August 22, 2001 At Harsha's request, we'll trot out this story again - there are many newcomers to the list. It concerns some students of Papaji's. I heard it from Arjuna, one of Papaji's students who was there - now teaching satsang in the U.S. Arjuna also noticed the extreme avoidance of the "I" word in some of the satsang community around Papaji, and dubbed it "The Lucknow Disease." The story, as he said Arjuna saw it: It was a summer afternoon at Papaji's house in Lucknow, India. Satsang would start soon. Devotees were scattered around the house. Bill and Stan had placed their meditation cushions up front claiming a spot close to Papaji for when he came in. They went to the kitchen to kill some time. Bill was at the stove and asked Stan, "Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" Stan's eyes went big, his voice went deep and profound, "There's no one here to choose." Bill was very impressed with Stan's state, and humbly served them both tea. They sat at the kitchen table, waiting for satsang. In a few moments, one of the other devotees came into the kitchen. "People are gathering for satsang," she said. "Oh, and Stan, someone seems to be sitting on your cushion." "That so-and-so &%!#@ How dare they!?" Stan fumed. "That's *my* cushion, *my* spot!"
