Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Dear Group, Only three more weeks before the flight to India. We have been doing what is often done by one's children, disposing of a life's times accumulation of material goods. At least this way we have been able to take boxes of 'keepsakes' to our kids, and go through the things with them - old handmade cards, programs from performances and athletic events, drawings and artwork from their childhood, etc. It si better to do this now than after we are dead. We are also making trips to say goodbye to our children, my mother, old friends, etc. In 3 more days we should be out of our home for the last 15 years. Then one more trip to visit my wife's grown kids, a few days living at the SAT temple, then we are off. I have a picture of the place we will live in Tiru. I will post it later. Not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Dear Richard to both of you my best wishes for the last days in the States. Please remind yourself not to expect anything - take what SELF give you, moment to moment.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Richard, I have enjoyed & benefitted a lot by all the posts that you had made in this forum. I too plan to visit India in 3 weeks (Leaving Montreal on Nov.20). I plan to visit Thiruvannamalai. I do not know when. It will be in January or February, I think. I will try to locate you. Let me know how I can find you out.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Dear Venugopal, Nameste. Thank you for your kind words. We do this with some spirit of renunciation. We put down what we like to seek what we love. With the loving support of our teacher Nome, and from Ramana, we feel that we are ready to try this.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Dear Michael, To take freely what is given freely is wisdom. Otherwise, one acts as an ego, thinking one is a body doing some action for some particular result. This is the road to suffering. Thank you for your good wishes.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Dear Richard, It is raining heavily in Tamil Nadu presently. Better carry rain coat, umbrella etc. The rains are really heavy in India, most westerners are not aware of the ferocity and intensity of the rains in India.
