This gave me a smile, and it reminds me of the time when, staying with my grandparents in the country, I walked down to the lake, got in my grandfather's boat, and with one paddle began diligently paddling away. About an hour later I am trying to go back with no luck. My grandfather came; got his other boat, a motor boat, came out tied the other boat to the back and hauled me bace to shore. : ) I think that Maa and Swamiji do this also. They let us fall flat on our faces, so that we can learn, but if we become adrift with only one, or perhaps no paddles, the kindly come and tow us through the ocean of objects and relationships. Okay, I hope my metaphor is not tripping over itself. Jai Maa !!!!! Jai Swamiji !!!! LindaIt's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
