Chaitanya
Hari is staying at the InterContinental Hotel on Front Street and is here on
business. He works with Telus and is
based in Vancouver. He is a young,
promising, business person and his prospects for spiritual advancement also
look good. I’ve known him since he was a
kid.
I
took him south on Yonge Street and then over to Front to his hotel, where he
was to retire for the evening before he started business training, and ideas
and strategic planning during the next day.
Being
from Vancouver, he noted some differences between that city and the current one
he’s in. Each place does have its own
character and personality. But every
place you go to, reveals a similarity—people are driven. People are motivated to forge ahead on some
level of progress. Even the homeless are
motivated to survive.
Both
Chaitanya and I witnessed some people, a few, lying down over the vents where
heat rises from the underground traffic.
Other more driven men in suits walk with a speed of expectation. In general, there is ambition. That is natural.
It
is also natural to look at, or at least ponder, the metaphysical, and consider
transcending over the physical world and the freaks of nature. That term, “freaks of nature,” was used by
our guru, Srila Prabhupada, to reflect or express the turbulent nature of
existence itself.
It’s
beneficial to balance our physical and spiritual needs. Do not suppress either.
May
the Source be with you!
