Essence of Life
I took a trek with Cameron, who hails from Australia, to our local hardware store. You can’t be more Canadian then when you zip over to a shop for merchandise, and when it’s called Canadian Tire. My intent in the visit falls under the realm of maintenance, perhaps, not exactly. It was for the purchase of mirrors, a prop I anticipate to use in the Lord’s service for a new drama production, Blue Mystic. I obtained my four identical mirrors, and with the help of Cameron, we trekked back to the ashram.
My second journey on foot today was to the home of Subuddhi for a feasting type of satsang. Here, perhaps more directly, you can call the ‘intent’ devotional, for even the exceptional food she cooked was blessed as prasadam and prepared with heart. Absolutely! It was a divine devour.
Other ashram dwellers had also come, in fact, we trekked to Subuddhi’s as a group, no use of automobile today, that’s the way I like it. Instead of horse power, we used human power to transport ourselves. And what qualifies the program at this kind hearted lady’s home as strictly devotional, is that as a group we all enjoyed a session of kirtan. It was to the beat of a symbol dhol drum.
Anytime, anywhere, anything, when your purpose or usage is of devotional content, it’s orientation is a step towards transcendence. You become an automatic yogi of sorts. In Bhakti Yoga, the essence of life is to utilize everything in every moment for the service of the Supreme.
May the Source be with you!
