Fun With Two Groups

“Resist resisting” was one of the remarks that burst out of our Gita Chat with the Hamilton crew. The message implied here was to accept some inconvenience in order to build character.

Another remark was, “Get comfortable about getting out of your comfort zone.” That also implies to getting a bit tough on yourself. Discipline – in other words.

Another theme that came up, as we are nearing the end of the Gita, was “Surrender to the sweet Supreme!” It’s time we realize that we are not the controller. There is something greater than me. Let me take greater control of my senses. Let THE CONTROLLER take control. This is called a happy submission.

These moments of popping-out bursts of bhakti were very gratifying.

Once I clicked off from the Hamilton Zoom, I then connected with a Mississauga group of four couples. With this crew, which came as a group only recently, we are combing through Chapter One. What triggered our discussion over the male and female psychology was a statement by Chanakya Pandit, advisor to King Chandra Gupta. It was fun to discuss the differences. Men often overthink. Women often overtalk. Together they form a good balance in terms of complementing each other.

On of the ladies remarked that partners don’t express appreciation of each other enough. How true! So that became an assignment. “Say or do something nice to each other until our next session.”

May the Source be with you!
