I was getting back to the office today from a client with my colleagues in a cab, when we started talking about taking the easier path in life and not having to stress 24/7 about everything. It wasn’t very serious minded talk, but it seemed to hit the cab driver in his soft spot as we talked about different relaxation methods etc. About half a kilometre before our office cut our discussion off by saying, “Hey listen, I’ve actually been meditating for two years and it helps me immensely”.

We were all left in awe as he continued to teach us about this one method he has been using. Once we got off to our office he said that he’d like to give us something to take home. He gave us each a DVD with an interview of Prem Rawat and some other printed material as well. Being the gentleman he was, he did emphasize that this is not a religion nor is it a philosophy of some sort – it’s life.

I’ve yet to watch the DVD, but the guys was full of energy and did leave lots of sun in me as we left the cab. He made a true impression, then again – he was unusual in a different way, not very Finnish and apart from other niche groups – he did not push the idea into us.

One of the best cab rides I’ve ever had.
