Hashi's Famous Trick

Ten thousand years ago there was a race — at least ten thousand years ago! On that day, quite a few disciples were running behind the Master. Hashi was one of those. Then one runner came and was talking and talking to me and disturbing me while I was running.

In Lord Krishna's time, he would employ various tricks. Why? It was unavoidable. He used those tricks so that he could play his Cosmic Game satisfactorily and perfectly. So, on that day, ten thousand years ago, Hashi also played a divine trick: Hashi fainted. It was a very short race, but Hashi fainted deliberately. It was all founded upon tricks and trickery. Then the person who was running with me and talking had to stop and pay attention to Hashi. And I was able to complete the race to my great satisfaction.

When people do me a very good favour, do I ever forget? No, never! When people do the wrong thing, I immediately try to forget. But when they do me a big favour, I never forget — never!
