Locked-in With the Fruits and Veggies
Today I committed to time in the walk-in cooler where we keep produce of fruits and veggies but also flowers and greens. The lifting, stretching and reaching, to some degree, compensated for the day’s no-walking program. The sorting out had to be done and the coolness of the fridge made me feel as if, indeed, I was outside.
By the way, the cold rain and wind of the out-of-doors was a deterrent for me. First and foremost, the cleaning and setting things up for the sake of efficiency was my impulsive service to Krishna. It is service and activity that keeps sanity in place. Lack of function is truly harmful in a person’s life. Being busy is the greatest blessing.
Apart from making this achievement today I succeeded in gaining sponsors for Gitas. I’m “on a roll” now. Three major sponsors came through today; as was the case yesterday. Yes, numbers do count, even in spiritual life. After all, it is recommended to chant sixteen times around on the japa meditation beads.
Also, in monastic life we are expected to work with numbers such as ten and four. They are, respectively, the approximate hours which a monk (or nun) should rest at night and the time at which one arises for sadhana activities, routine devotional practices. Working with figures is a standard procedure for those of us in a disciplined lifestyle. It provides a solid foundation for building upon one’s spiritual life.
May the Source be with you!
