To Linda: The Hollow Reed

[Guest guest]

Dear Linda:

"It is only when you experience yourself as the hollow

reed, the empty vessel, that the passageway is clear

for the true Energy of Existence

to become available."

 

As you noted Lindaji, Big Swami emphasized this

dynamic in his Day 2 Tacoma, WA 2006 satsang.

 

It is instructive to see you allude to playing music.

Recently I have experimented with singing bhajans with

the thought that Amma is singing THROUGH me. It can

make the vocalization more effective.

 

The gist of Big Swami's pov (posted earlier) makes the

claim that if you do any action with the bhava I AM

NOT THE DOER then the action itself becomes more

efficient.

 

Does anyone think great musicians do a lot of thinking

when jamming on a stage? Do masters of any craft

flow trance like or feel self evident in the act of

performance?

 

If one serves with love and a feeling of non-doer-ship

one's performance gets enhanced. May we become a

hollow Reed in Amma/Krishna's sacred hands.

 

Namah Shivaya,
