It’s Monday morning in Vrindavana and everybody is taking life in their stride. The bazaar owner is lying left side down in his storefront, while the rest of his cohort inefficiently open shop. At the Yamuna there’s an array of boats, but no boatmen in sight – then you see them huddled around a fire, warming up, exchanging jokes, and missing all the business in the process. Rickshaw drivers are hanging around for something to happen, kids are chasing the cows, vehicles seem to just horn out habit although there’s no pressing agenda to get anywhere. People argue, shout, get worked up and then kind of forget about it and return to normal. You may get ripped off now and again, but nobody holds a grudge – you win some, you lose some. The overall scene of Vrindavana exudes a unique aloofness. Nobody seems to take it too seriously. Don’t get me wrong, there are hard-working people here, but the predominant mood is that there’s more to life than work.
Extremely beautiful. Thanks Maharaja for kindly articulating and sharing deeper truths experienced by heart but not always obvious to the contaminated intelligence. Praying for a purified heart and intelligence to follow your path and your teachers. Deep gratitude.
Thank you so much for sharing this. It couldn't have been a more perfectly timed message and brought Vrindavan so beautifully into my heart this morning. A feeling of softness and a fullness in my heart and the melting away of the thoughts about all my 'tasks'. I remember a Sadhu in Vrindavan being asked what the purpose of life is and his answer really stuck with me. He said 'to relax'. That was it. How wonderful :-). Wishing you a great day.
