Never less alone than when alone...and oh so much work!
Finally got a day to myself. The kids were gone and Debdas was late from office. When I reached home in the afternoon it was Solar Eclipse time. I sat down for meditation and opened my eyes three hours later. All the fatigue in the body and mind were gone. I felt a burst of energy.
Guruji is coming to Kolkata. His presence is in the air and in my heart. The clock is ticking by, bringing us closer to the d-day with every passing minute. If I just look at the amount of work we are getting done, it is unbelievable! Wherever we go, people just seem to waiting for us. However, one cannot but see this work as a phenomenon that just happens and somewhere you play your own little role. It is doership that gets us stress and creates the illusion that work will not get done if I don't do it. Work by itself is just a happenning. The ground has already been set so that you can play your own small little role.
But to live this truth is an art, the art to balance between pravritti and nivritti.
So today I got a breather. Just to be with myself. A luxury that has truly become rare.
