Around the Block, Toronto
Out Back
Whenever there is an event around the corner, I feel compelled to clean up the place. With the dawn of Ramanavami that urge was strong. David and I took to some cleaning up in the back of the building. Of course, this is a space that the public can’t see, so the mind argues, why bother?
Retort: “But Krishna can see! Secondly, since we live on the premises we can also see. The question is how long do you bear the clutter and debris which attracts more of the same?”
Genuine service is in the sincere effort to make good. So, David and I went at some spring cleaning involving raking leaves, paper and plastic pick-up, discovering garden tools and placing them in their respective places, leveling some soil, re-piling wood and hosing the parking lot.
It was fun. It’s a rewarding feeling when all is put in order.
We did this for you, Ram and not to mention our guru, Srila Prabhupada, who always encouraged neatness. Those are our motivations.
You all know how it works; just when one task is settled and done then a new catastrophe is on the horizon. This is the material world, after all. Rogers, the telephone company that services many a phone, including mine, collapsed for the moment. Before and after the cleanup I just couldn’t get my communications to work. It got solved eventually.
Jaya Ram!
May the Source be with you!
