Miami, Florida
Here
in Miami
I was treated quite wonderfully at the ISKCON
Miami Centre. Special lunch items were
prepared. Quite spontaneously I
arrived—almost last minute. Also
spontaneously, I was asked to speak from “Wherever you like.”
Okay then.
I chose verse 15.15 from the Bhagavad
Gita beginning with the word from God Himself, “I am seated in everyone’s
heart.” The verse goes on to say that
God is the source of all wisdom and ignorance as well.
We all experience, at times, a state of
forgetfulness. I know I have my senior
moments. And sometimes there are
incredible things to remember at the speed of light—an important name of a
person, place and details—which I need at the tip of my tongue.
I also spoke at the home of a Krishna
devotee, where friends gathered. From
the book, Bhagavatam, I read to the
group about the twenty-one avatars. The Bhagavatam,
however, offers a larger number. Amongst
them there are different categories of avatars. These different manifestations of the
Absolute can make it very complex.
When wasn’t the world complex in its cosmic
make-up?
I guess it is something to ponder. One thing is for sure, we are all very tiny
and hopefully humble.
May the Source be with you!
