Real Lounging
Santosh and I walked to Spadina Avenue to
the Multi-Faith Building to do a presentation on “Tales from Trails,” with
sponsors, the Bhakti Lounge group. After
the hour-long talk, I asked if anyone had any questions.
Indeed they did. Here are some, with abbreviated answers:
Q: You mentioned the moose you met in New
Brunswick. How did seeing the moose
humble you?
A: He is a majestic creature and next to me,
I was small. That is our position. As spirit—we are small. The Vedas say our dimension is one ten
thousandth the size of the tip of a hair.
Q: You say you see that all things out in
nature, on the trail, are divine, or sacred.
Do you find that God is present more so in nature, on the road, than in
the temple?
A: God is omnipotent and omnipresent,
everywhere. Although the temple is
special within Divine presence, I find it helpful to see that presence in all
things, in all places. This is Krishna
Consciousness!
Q: How does a walk become both physical and
spiritual?
A: Walking is a physical experience that
offers health benefits. When chanting
goes on simultaneously, you make a spiritual connection. It is a perfect marriage of matter and
spirit. Call it “balanced.”
Q: Where do you find your support person or
team?
A: There is always someone connected to our
community who craves adventure, or who needs some down time, or who sees it as
a service to the world and God.
May the Source be with you!
