Seaton Village, Toronto

 

Towards the Light

 

Subuddhi is in her 80’s and it’s a little bit tough for her to get around these days. For her group studies online she requested a copy of the mystical text, Brahma Samhita. She called me and asked for a copy.

 

“I haven’t yet walked today so I can walk over and drop off a copy. I’d be happy to,” I said.

 

The sun was in the west and to get to her place at Seaton Village I would have to head west. Great! I know the neighbourhood quite well with its quiet back streets. It’s pretty much and eclectic neighborhood, mostly people of European background. Lots of families and schools as well as small parks in the area.

 

I have been calling our centres across Canada, encouraging the leaders to pledge towards the Gita drive called “Gifts of Knowledge,” coining the phrase “Give to Live.” It’s working. This is the time of year that wisdom is disbursed in a big way by Krishna devotees all over the globe. I guess my short 3 km to Subuddhi’s, a god-sister, fits into this particular service effort. Delivering to someone’s home a brick of gold like the Brahma Samhita is a pious deed. Although it was dark at the time (the days are getting shorter) I felt as if I were walking into the sun.

 

The other day, at High Park, I walked with Christopher towards the light; towards the sun.

 

May the Source be with you!

6km
