Summary
The story begins in Sacramento in 2013, when Sundar rushes to attend a spiritual discourse, even hitting a plastic bucket on the freeway in his hurry. He had received a mysterious message that the teacher, Girish Ji, was looking for him. When they met, Girish Ji asked about a book Sundar had given him years earlier—one Sundar had completely forgotten.
That book, Yoga, Enlightenment, and Perfection by Shri Umesh Ji (Sundar’s college guru), had become the cornerstone of Girish Ji’s spiritual journey. He carried it everywhere, relied on it for guidance, and said it was like the “railway track” that kept his spiritual life on course.
The story then flashes back to Sundar’s college days, when he was nicknamed “Quantum” for his obsession with quantum mechanics and skepticism toward spirituality. Despite his doubts, he was drawn to a senior, Shri Umesh Ji, whose logical approach disarmed him. Their most meaningful conversations weren’t in classrooms or temples but by Umesh Ji’s Royal Enfield motorcycle—simple talks that later planted the seeds of Sundar’s meditation journey.
Sundar reflected that true spiritual masters are like fire: they inevitably transform those around them, skeptics and seekers alike.
The ripple effect became clear when Girish Ji, so deeply moved by the book, even wanted to travel across the world to meet Umesh Ji. Sundar had forgotten the exchange, yet it profoundly shaped someone else’s life.
The story ends with a reminder: transformation often comes in unexpected forms—a casual conversation, a borrowed book, or even dodging a plastic bucket on the freeway to arrive at exactly where you need to be.
