Floating on the Ganges

 

As I was coming out of the anesthesia, the surgeon asked me how I was doing.

I said, ³Oh, I¹m fine, just fine. It¹s just like floating on the Ganges.²

 

Since I have never floated on the Ganges (with or without a boat), it seemed

like a strange response. But I am a great believer in floating, especially

in warm swimming pools. I love the feeling of letting go, of complete

surrrender, of trusting the water to embrace me and hold me up out of harm¹s

way.

 

Many of the world¹s religions include teachings on surrender and putting

your trust in Divinity. Some of them go so far as to say that it is only

the Divine Mother or Father who acts. The one who sees him or herself as an

individual does not act at all. The best we can do is to throw ourselves in

love and devotion at the feet of Divinity and surrender our small selves.

 

As we are living our lives in the world, we can rest in the arms of Divinity

and float down the Ganges knowing that the embrace of the Divine will keep

us out of harm¹s way.
