What
Is Genuine?
“Hey, do you guys want to distinguish
reality from illusion, big time?” is what I said to Hayagriva and
Marshall. The phrase about “reality and
illusion” may sound as a reference from the book Bhagavatam—the first verse.
What I was actually half-joking about was something more to do with the
truth behind taste—real taste or flavour that’s organic and not GMO. While we were parked at an abandoned lot off
of I-80 for a break, I pointed at two apple trees, one a red delicious breed
and the other, a golden delicious.
“Go and try some of these fruits, far
removed from the artificial flavours at the grocery store.” There was a slight hesitation before they moved
zealously in the direction of the discovered apple trees, but once they went
for the pick and the bite, they understood what I was talking about. The experience of taking an apple
locally-grown and free of pesticides is a taste worth experiencing—a genuine
explosion of joy.
My team agreed with me that real flavour is
what’s missing in our food today. https://instagram.com/p/BZTi5bDlpxt/
It was an energy boost. We carried on driving. And what a drive it was, starting from Omaha,
Nebraska, en route to Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and finally Michigan. We embarked upon our destination for an
evening program at Ypsilanti. I see new
people here, Carl and Radha who are new-residents in the house called “Harmony
Collective.” For my talk some young
folks came for the first time—Meena and Josh.
I wish them well in their spiritual endeavours. I hope they return for more of the genuine
experience of hearing and chanting.
Vivasvan and Ananda Rupa invited us to
their home for a rest. They still have
the Ganesh deity that we found in the bottom of a lake in Massachusetts when
commencing this U.S. walk.
May the Source be with you!
