SHACK 151 SNAIL OR ' SCHNELL'

It was a bank holiday and a large crowd were gathered in Piccadilly in London UK and the police waited patiently.  A figure appeared at the doorway, a small man with a white robe and a black beard and carrying flowers, behind a man of medium height for a European, the man was gesticulating and looked flushed and excited, behind him came four famous musicians and some other celebrities, they were cordoned gently by the police, and they led the crowds who followed on behind. 

The small bearded man in front was a famous Guru and he was going home to India and saying farewell. Many cried and begged him to come back. 

The Man from Europe was a sort of administrative Secretary and from Germany his name was Heir Schnell (quick, fast), the Guru and the crowd were heading towards Victoria Station and had a boat train to catch and as a bank holiday thus would be packed for people wanting to go abroad.

The Guru walked slowly, really slowly, Schnell urging him to walk faster saying they would miss the train, the Guru said not to worry all will be well and not to run to his demise but walk to it.  Some rude remarked a snail would move faster.

Eventually everyone got to the Station. The police could only let about a hundred into the platform to say goodbye.  The Station Master came and said 'I am afraid you have missed your train' whereupon Schnell exclaimed 'what did I tell you, sometimes you have to be practical about these things'. The Station Master said ' However knowing it was a bank holiday and were expecting a large crowd we are running an extra train, only your secretary and you will be on this train with other passengers' Schnell looked downcast and the Guru gave him a flower waved at the crowd and went onto the train.

A young orphan lad of say 17 years of age dodged past the Station Master and Police and ran to the train as it was moving, the Guru opened the door and let the lad in and went all the way to India with him.  The Guru I understood said this was meant to be.

I used to have chats with the Guru as I had met him years back, I was not a disciple or took the initiation but he told me once 'if you want protection from the public always have a fussy, egoistic person as your private secretary'  I wonder if he was alluding to Heir Schnell?
