Time and Us
It was a liberating
day from the standpoint that claustrophobia was ended. Yes, part of the reason for feeling crammed
in Kolkata was a lack of pacing space in the Iskcon building. I’m afraid I sent a subtle complaint to one
of the higher ups and he responded with speed.
He did something about it.
“I need air that moves and space to pace,” which was sent to
the ether. I was grateful to be
relocated 1 kilometer away. I can walk
now. I stayed in the flat provided for a
3 day period.
Space is one thing, time is another. Two musician companions secured for our
recording project are chronically late.
It was a great opportunity for me to extol the glories of God in the
form of time.
“Do not think of the Creator as Gopal, the friend of the
cows, as Mukunda, meaning the giver of liberation, or as Janardan, maintainer
of all,” I told the 2 young men. Think
of Him exclusively as time (a quote from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 11). This bold statement is made by Krishna and has all the relevance to everyone that hopes
to keep appointments clear.
I added, “How can you two succeed in life in this
manner? You want to be taken seriously,
right?”
Mind you, all was said lovingly, and I hope change will
come.
May the Source be with you!
