Mayapura, India

Selfless Love

There is this nice devotee, Sujan, who loves the soil, water, plants and flowers.  He spends hours outdoors, weeding, watering, curing and caring for the greens and the flowers.  He loves his work.
Mayapura is a place of plants and flowers.  It is not uncommon to receive flower garlands each day from well-wishers, no less than six.  Of course, that may be so if you are a monk, expect one garland to wrap around the neck and embrace the chest.  After one comes off, another one appears from some kind soul, perhaps looking for some blessing.  I hope all people are treating each other with this selfless love.  I don't know.

One thing is for sure, we are all spirit souls, not these bodies, beyond any designation.  We are not man, woman or a member of the third sex.  We are servants of love, and that love can be perceived in all beings and objects.  In the plants, ants, pets and wild creatures, and in the enemy and friend, there is something to embrace or resist.  Even in our own resistance and defense of something, we achieve some lesson.  Where a lesson is taught, love is learned. 

Our drama troup is doing well—full house each night, standing ovation.  I suppose people love the main character—Bhishma.  He was so selfless in his service to others.  He became a sacrificial lamb, loved and respected.  Called a mahajana for his greatness.  Bhisma was a shining example of what a saint should be like.


May the Source be with you!
