When I was younger, one of the wishes I carried around for the longest period was … if only I could have an invisible walkman plugged into my ears all the time. So that I could dance through life to the tune of a thousand melodies streaming into my ear, my mind and my life… Now older and wiser (!), I understand that even if my mind would have enjoyed the music, my ears would have given way long before! In Guruji’s wise words, “The limited capacity of the senses and the unlimited desire of the mind… is what causes stress” I must admit, the last part of the sentence is mine. I wouldn’t dare quote Him unless I could be absolutely sure.
But today there is music in my ears – all the time. There is a beat that I dance to, all the time, really. Maybe you see it, hear it… maybe not. But Guruji has given me a *walkman* that plays the most wondrous melodies – I wonder how I missed it all these years! And the beat He has introduced me to… ooh, it is the peppiest one ever and I can hardly keep from dancing! I looked long and hard for a rhythm, a melody, the beat for so long – and then I walked right into this 24-hr party and have been dancing ever since… such joy!!!
