PRETEND

Once Ramakrishna taught us a weapon to protect our spirituality is to "hiss".  You know as a snake who meet their enemy, first thing they do is "hissing".  With this "hissing" sound, enemy will not come.  Suppose those enemy still comes to get the snake.   well what does snake should do?  Ramakrishna did not provide an answer.  But BaBa did.  BaBa said to us "pretend".  You should not get angry.  But you should pretend you are angry.  Once an acharya asked BaBa said "he can not sit and do meditation.  What should he do?"  BaBa answered,"You sit there and pretend you are doing meditation.  You are an Acarya, you should sit there for 2 hours."

I like  "pretend" very much.  Pretend you do not know how, actually you know and you can.  Pretend you are furious, but you are not.  Don't be a show off eagle.  No need.  This way you can avoid a lot of unnecessary things come to you.

hehehe!  Once BaBa pretend he did not know how to cook potato.  Just once, he got the right of exemption not to cook potato.
