Toronto, Ontario
Lined-Up
I lined up an appointment with an ayurvedic healer for tomorrow, to have a
look at my knees. We all have to see to
the anatomy of ourselves—see a mechanic from time to time.
I’ve been avoiding physical activity and
resorting to a room almost as if in a hospital.
I find it is a great time for introspection and healing.
I look at someone like our Hanuman, cleaner
of our temple room. He, more than anyone
else, knows and feels that when you clean the temple you are cleaning your
heart.
There he stood, Hanuman, at the entrance
way, with his bucket of water and mop.
The dirt he picked up resembles a dark chocolate drink. Hanuman is not in the best shape,
physically. He had surgery years ago
when a pin was driven in his knee. It
pains him at times, however, he goes on with such conviction that he’s an
inspiration. https://instagram.com/p/BdzYevgFr5C/
I was in the temple room chanting away with
the Wednesday kirtan when he came over and asked if the group chanting on the
carpet would move so that he can mop that particular area. I suggested he let it go, that we were all
immersed in the mantras and that what
he did do was sufficient. He graciously
complied.
I see inspirationists all the time. They are a horn of plenty. They are around everywhere and they don’t
have to be limited to humans. Animals
also have a life and sometimes save lives.
Hanuman, the original, is a human/ape—extremely
devoted. Check out this beautiful
picture of Sita and Hanuman by artist Sanjay Patel. Beautiful!
May the Source be with you!
