Love towards the Creator seems to be the way- An experience felt whenever we visit ANY RELIGIOUS place.

This time during Holi Vacation, I visited a religious place situated in the midst of  remote villages.

I experienced the following phases.

1) As the car from the airport passed through the villages, I saw poverty. The road strip was poor. Villagers looked poor. Their clothes looked poor. The creases of poverty were itched on their faces. I suddenly felt guilty. I felt guilty about living in a rich city. I felt guilty about practising in the Supreme Court where the rich lock their horns in vain legal battles. I felt guilty about the way we charge them fees. 

2) The phase changed as I entered the Religious place. Thousands of devotees had come from all over India to visit this place from different parts of India. They were poor, middle class and Many of them were from the Rich class of Mumbai.

3) There were no five star hotels. There were only Dharmshalas maintained by a Trust. The richest and the poorest, stayed in the same Dharamshala !

4) In the religious place itself, the devotees worshipped in a same language.

It was a language of Love.

They were offering their love to the Creator, the Nourisher and the Wish Granter.

The Rich and the poor both spoke in the language of Love to God.

It seemed that there was an absence of logic and rationality in this place.  The energy of love looked more powerful than energies of reason and logic. .

This is the same language of Love spoken  in religious places of all religions of the world…. 

5) Then the Miracle Effect. Imagine a congregation of 10000 people speaking in the language of Love to God. It creates VIBRATIONS in the air. The Telepathic People can sense and feel these vibrations.

The Scientists also now believe that in the  Universe, there  is nothing but interplay of Vibrations and Energies constantly moving from one place to another.

I noticed these Vibrations.

I noticed that it has a cleansing effect in one’s inner most core.

How to cope with arguing blues that follows in mind after a judge says harsh words for our clients- A suggestion

“Always wear a raincoat while entering in a courtroom”.. About in 1987, a senior advocate of Junagadh District Court gave me this advice.

I liked this advice so much that till today I follow this advice.

That senior lawyer was later elevated as judge of Gujarat High Court and presently he is retired.

In courtrooms, judges are often brewing with disturbing facts of their cases.

Judges have the right to express their reactions. They have the right to vent their angry reactions also.

Sometimes they get angry and upset over advocates.

It is natural. In psychology it is known as “Transfer of Anger”.

A judge may have been angry over a case. Then sometimes his anger spills out on lawyers.

Lawyers feel hurt when they come out from the court.

On one such day, as I came out from the court of a short tempered civil judge. 

A senior lawyer advised me, “Never bother about what judges say to us during hearing of a case. Just wear a raincoat. After coming out from court, just forget words of judges as if they are rain drops on your raincoat. His words will slip away from the raincoat and you will never feel hurt by words of a judges, which they might have spoken during heat of a bad case.”

Till today, I have followed his advice and I have never felt hurt by words of any judge.

I wish that all seniors should give such advice their to juniors.
