[Grandpa goes through some books]
Afi: Good morning, grandpa.
G: Good morning. How are you?
Afi: Am fine Thank You. Grandpa, what are you doing with these fat books?
G: A good question. I am searching for truth.
Afi: Oh, I see. But have you found it?
G: No, my dear. For the past 30 years I have been going through many books-metaphysical, occult, mystic, religious-but still I have not found truth. In fact, I have spent thousands of dollars travelling to Mecca, Jerusalem and even India. Still I have not been able to find TRUTH.
Afi: Hmm. Grandpa, truth cannot be found in books; neither can it be found in so-called holy places.
G: So where can I find truth?
Afi: I know where u can find truth.
G: Look I am 71 years old and you are 20 years old. Okay, where can I find truth?
Afi: The truth is that TRUTH is within you!
G: Chineke! Chinua Achebe, things have fallen apart indeed! Is it in my head or stomach? Look don’t give me hypertension. How can my granddaughter teach me?
Afi: Physically I am young but in soul I am old, in fact, older than you are.
G: How do you know you that you are so?
Afi: I belong Eckankar, the religion of the light and sound of the light and sound of God. We have a master who teaches us that we are Soul, a spark of God. And to find truth we must sit still, sing HU and go within and we shall find truth.
G: So if I want money can I sing HU?
Afi: NO!
G: If I want to win an Election, can I sing HU?
Afi: NO!
G:Then your HU is useless!
Afi: No. It is an undirected prayer. By sing HU, we are telling God ‘let thy will be done’. HU is an ancient name for GOD.
G: So if I sing HU I will find the truth that has eluded mu for the past 30 years?
Afi: Yes
G: Then teach me how to sing the HU.
Afi: Get a quiet place, sit still feel yourself with love, place your attention in between the eyebrows then sing HU! HUU! HUUU! Gently for about 10 to 20 minutes. Then listen, God will speak to you.
G: Wow! God will speak to me? Thank you my granddaughter.
Afi: It’s a pleasures.
G: Then let’s sing HU now, now, now.
Afi & G: HU! HUU! HUUU!
