Toronto, Ontario
Service: Symptom of the Soul
I landed in Toronto after an overnight flight. And although my feet got planted on the floor,
sidewalk, snow, and then indoor tile and carpet, all in one location, my mind
flew to other locations such as Cleveland and Florida in the U.S., other
destinations in Canada, the upcoming visit to D.C., then the Caribbean, India,
South Africa and more. All such places are
on my list and all are good, because they offer opportunities for seva
(service).
Service is what should be perceived as our life force. Service keeps me alive. Whether it comes in the form of worship,
chanting, praying, studying, delivering a class, greeting people, walking or—as
in the case today—directing a drama, it is some form of service for me.
It is an energy booster.
No financial profit is necessary to be made from service. The will to do more of it sustains us. Our guru, Prabhupada, was frank in saying
that service is the dharma of the soul.
Service is the symptom of the soul.
It is at the heart of it.
As mentioned above regarding the play-acting, we are up for
a new drama performance. "The Gita" (in English) will be presented in
Toronto on January the 1st. I
wish I could take it to all the destinations on my list. This service of drama is very dear to me,
especially from the point of view that it brings people together.
Our cast and crew came together this evening. We have begun our planning, scheduling and
some practise, even costume-fitting.
It's exciting, like any service, it's a privilege. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5spdY2gkVT/?igshid=1drqyfod9lihn
