On Serendipity/ Sadhana and Guru

[Guest guest]

Ashish,

 

How can I forget you? You helped me so much when I was goin through a

bad phase. I think i have not been able to state clearly what I

really want to say. I think there needs to be a balance in our lives.

I dont really agree with you when u say that we waste time on

groups or movies or TV shows. I mean they may be

entertainment/relaxation for someone or a source of

knowledge/information for someone else. Also they are such an

integral part of our lives now that one feels left out in the

material world (read social gatherings). Again balance in life, that

is all what I am saying. There needs to be a place for everything -

Sadhna, Family, Entertainment, Work. I dont want to be an extremist -

that is all what I am saying. And I never said sombody shd donate to

you - I am saying donate to charity. Believe me there are lot of

charities that are doing great work and need funds to carry on their

mission. I am sure u wld ve some in ur neighborhood as well. (And

since I have never been successful in any monetary sadhna, I just

contribute my bit by working for them).

 

Danny,

 

Like you said "pause for a few moments". I dont think we need hours

to spread peace and love. A "few moments" are enough if we really

mean it. I just think that the world is moving 2 fast. U pause for

more than a few moments and u can never catch up.

 

I am just gonna stop this discussion now. I just want to maintain a

balance in my spiritual and material quest Period
