Toronto,
Ontario
Dan
Came
Dan
is willing enough to admit to struggling with drugs. He wants
to put the nasty things behind him. He has come to Krishna to
get help and support. He's been chanting, meditating on
his japa beads. Reading the Bhagavad-gita and
being in the company of devotees is making a difference.
Dan
has just arrived from Alberta and is taking to a monk-for-a-weekend
retreat at the ashram with us. The rain had
come down hard just before he arrived by bus. The air was clean
and not long after quite the ride from Ontario's southern tip,
Windsor, Dan was quite ready for a trek that Karuna and I had
planned.
So
through Rosedale neighbourhood we threesome went picking up the fresh
smells after a thorough shower from the gods in many ways the walk
through this region with its mature growth of well-placed trees was
the introduction to Dan's monk-for-a-weekend experience. It was
the perfect therapeutic venture for the three of us. After all,
who in this world is not sick with some addiction/attachment?
We
all are!
What
comes to mind is a verse of hope from the Bhagavad-gita 6.45:
"And
when the yogi engages himself with sincere endeavour in making
further progress, being washed of all contaminations, then
ultimately, achieving perfection after many, many births of practice,
he attains the supreme goal."
May
the Source be with you!
