How It Is, Was and
Will Be
I was just completing my walk for the day when I received a
call from one of our brahmin
priests. Like most people I’m in touch
with these days, this bank employer was expressing his awe at how the world is
at present and living with the doubt as to when all will normalize. We both agreed through conversation that it
will be a “different normal.”
I voiced my opinion that I wasn’t particularly fond of the
old normal and that when we get over all of the shutdown existence there will
be an adjustment and many things will simply gravitate to the ways of lust,
anger and greed all over again.
Usually in all talks that I have it ends up on a good note.
We spoke about all the current positive effects of the whole moratorium. “Look at how some of the most polluted rivers
are now going through a revival. Also in
many of the smog-ridden cities of the world, the sky can now be seen. Wildlife is returning to areas where once it
was theirs. The atmosphere is knowing an
enhanced peacefulness.” All these
dynamics are actually a big deal.
In fact before curfews, shutdowns and quarantines I used to
wonder how long this madness of greed, noise, trash and the like will go
on? It certainly was no picnic at
Algonquin Park.
“Life in the temple ashram,” I explained to my friend, “is
full of shanti (peace) and we finish
our day by reading a chapter of the book ‘Krishna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead.’”
Maybe Source be with you!
