Vaughn, Ontario
Application
of Our Faculties
As Doctor prescribed, I need to relax those
legs, apply the Ayurvedic oil and take digestive aid in capsules
(organic). “With that, you’ll get
better.” And so I’ve been complying.
In the meantime things must go on. Correspondence. Counselling.
Planning. Leading a chanting
session before a crowd in Vaughn. Also,
there was an appreciation lunch for the cast of “Many Mothers, Many
Fathers.” We watched a video of the
January 1st performance. Not
bad. A one camera angle shooting doesn’t
do justice but we thank Sati for putting it together. We see the embellishments that the play
carries, and many saw where there is need for fine tuning.
For the pleasure of guru and God, one puts
their best effort forward and keeps striving for excellence. Endeavouring toward improvement keeps a
person alive, otherwise you are facing dry routine. It’s a matter of application of the heart
that brings us beyond the mechanics.
When leading the chant at the large home of
one particularly sizeable and extended family, we asked participants to use
their voice, hands, heart and smile.
That combination of our faculties seems to work.
We also applied leg power—dance—and got the
crowd to form circles of fun. After all
it was Saturday and you’re supposed to have a fever—“Saturday Night Fever,” is
how the Toronto Star described our ecstatic dance procedures at the Sunday Love
Feast back in the early 80s. A John
Travolta film, if I'm not mistaken.
May the Source be with you!
