strange, isn't it?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

 

Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar note

seems like such a large amount when

you donate it to the temple, but

such a small amount

when you go shopping?

 

Isn't it strange how 2 hours

seem so long when

you're in arati, and how

short they seem when you're

watching a good movie?

 

Isn't it strange that you can't

find a word to

say when you're praying,

but you have no trouble thinking

what to chat about with a friend?

 

Isn't it strange how difficult

and boring it is

to read one chapter of the

Gita, but how easy it is to

read 100 pages of a

popular novel?

 

Isn't it strange how everyone

wants front-row-tickets to concerts or

games, but they do whatever is

possible to sit at the

back of the temple room?

 

Isn't it strange how we need to

know about an event at the temple 2-3

weeks before the day so we can

include it in our

agenda, but we can

adjust it for other events in

the last minute?

 

Isn't it strange how difficult

it is to learn a

fact about Krishna to share it

with others, but how easy it is

to learn, understand, extend and repeat

gossip?

 

Isn't it strange how we send

jokes in e-mails and

they are forwarded right

away, but when we are going to

send messages

about Krishna, we think about it

twice before we share it with

others?
