Funny story today. When Chandaneswar prabhu woke up this afternoon, he received a phone call from a friend; groggy and disoriented he answered the call and the many questions that ensued. He couldn't make heads or tails out of it, so many weird questions.... It nagged at him, "What was that all about? Why did he ask me that? What's he up to?" Our friend simply answered that he was asking around for another mutual friend of ours, lets just call him J--, who was in the market for a house near the temple. J--'s mother-in-law is very attached to the temple so he wants to buy her a house nearby. Case closed. Kind of.
Something didn't make sense to Chandaneswar prabhu but he couldn't piece it together, yet, because his sugar was so low, he'd only just woken up and had a terrible headache. It bothered him but he suffered in silence and rushed to the kitchen to whip up some fresh grape juice and took some BC powder. Five minutes later, smiling and laughing, he begins telling me, "I know exactly what he's up to now. He's really sneaky. He wants to sell J-- on that junk house so he can buy this one out from under him. Why wouldn't he tell J-- that this house is also for sale, same asking price and in much better condition? Ha ha, I couldn't figure it out but as soon as I drank that grape juice, my sugar shot up and my brain started to work! Hahahah."
So the grape juice worked miracles for Chandaneswar prabhu; it was delicious but super sweet for my taste so I watered it down a bit. Got the ol' brain ticking.
So, this guy is kind of a sneak so we keep our distance him and the likes of him. Its good advice to heed, don't disclose too much information to others, especially personal matters, even if you think they're friends. Others don't have your best interest in mind and will often give you bad advice or misguide you whenever it benefits them. True words to live by, pick your friends very carefully. :)
