Tues. March 25, 2008 – Durban South Africa

It is one thing when nature attacks us and another when people operate out of order. The crime rise is critical. Less so is the abscess forming on my neck. A lump of sorts, likely the result of a spider bite, takes prominent hold on my right side. Virtually painless, the reaction to some biting creature that likely occurred in my sleep warrants a visit to the doctor. His diagnosis was that it was a serious enough infection and needed attention. A cut, clean up and antibiotic treatment was to address the problem. Thank you Dr. Vinod. He does not charge monks.
I was thrilled to give the class on the Bhagavatam today. In it was the description of the humiliation of Duryodhan, a prominent character of the “Mahabharat” epic. Duryodhan was notorious for his ploy. We read and discuss his behaviour to remind us of what we should not be doing. As humans we have choice of behaviour – spiders do not.
