Indiana, Pennsylvania
James Stewart Showing Us
There was a pleasantly long interview with Brittany of Renda radio today. In the course of her
questions,
she came up with a classic one, “Of all your experiences in this walk,
what stands out?” And so, I had to think swiftly of what was dominant.
I thought in terms of today. Since Indiana is the hometown of
superstar actor James Stewart, with a sizeable museum dedicated to him
and a local airport also in his name, what came to mind was what I read
today. Here was a leading man for a number of decades, and yet, as a
silver screen hero, he was also a hero off-screen. He was married to
one woman for his entire life-time and didn’t flirt with other glamour
queens. In other words he held a high calibre of morals and so I
thought that that would be inspirational for people.
I
went on to explain to Brittany that my walk is to promote a higher
state of consciousness and if such moral values can be achieved by our
deeds, whether past or present, then as a human race we can boast that
perhaps we are advancing on some level.
The
interview flowed smoothly. So did today’s walk. The moderate
temperature in the upper 40’s and lower 50’s as well as greetings from
motorists and home-owners who happened to see me and Tre’von ambling
along made it so. At one point a couple of women pulled over and
mistook me for being one of the Tibetan monks who are visiting town to
demonstrate a mandala.
“What’s that? Other monks are in town? Oh well, the more the merrier!”
In
the evening, our crew drove to a group meeting in Pittsburgh for a
summary presentation of the Bhagavad-gita. The simple and brief
explanation behind the wisdom of the Gita is to know the Divine and
hence find out more about yourself.
May the Source be with you!
