In the joy of others ..

the recent review of "The Science of Getting Rich" reminded me of an episode where I could enjoy the fruits of good deed 🙂 

A wise man (Shri Pramukh Swami Maharaj) has said "In the joy of others lies our own" - બીજાના સુખમાં આપણું સુખ છે ...” પ્રમુખસ્વામી મહારાજ .. 🙏

On a long international flight to home after couple of days being outside, we were randomly given K16 & K17 (middle seats as shown above) .. earlier, flight seats were not being charged but now people pay premium to get their choice (like window) so, it is tricky to even request someone to swap .. emotional plea - like we are husband/wife is also not very effective 😛

I quickly realized, there was one more couple L17 & L18 (both with window but not adjacent) .. so, I requested and encouraged 3-way movements that made it win-win ... person with premium window still retained window (L16 to L18), and in the process we got next to each other (with window as bonus) .. in the joy of others lies our own was truly experienced, when you want good for all, universe is more friendly to your plans and schemes
