Vancouver, British Columbia
Decisions
A fairly spontaneous decision was made for me to fly to Vancouver, which I did yesterday. The purpose? It was not to participate in a walkathon. Rather, it was decided that I meet with two monks, Gopal Krishna Goswami, and Hari Vilas (by virtue of service, he is practically a monk). The three of us, not shunning administrator obligations, but sitting to discuss issues over our devotional community, was our topic of discussion.
It would be nice to have the easy life of a roaming hermit, and not bother with ‘people’, however, our whole mission involves humans and offering them the more stress free material relieving lifestyle. ‘People’ will always be on our agenda. We serve and receive service from them. Our role is to teach, mentor, coach, encourage. The three of us had two sessions of meetings, one last evening and one this morning. Prior to meeting, I naturally had to put in my kilometres, and also, in the planning of the day, work around our morning sadhana which begins at 4:30 AM. After all, strength lies in sessions that are heart touching, and sadhana, when approached feelingly, opens up the chakra of the heart and prepares for dealing with people issues.
The three of us came out of our meeting room, satisfied with decisions made, knowing well that not all parties will be cent percent satisfied. Compromise we must live with, otherwise, expect no hope.
May the Source be with you!
