There are beautiful faces everywhere
Today I am a little sad...all the Putta-parties have gone back to Sai Baba's ashram...his birthday is over and they hope that the tourists have left. I was on my way to give my art class and I saw Hernan (the Argentinian) actross the road with his bag...he was also leaving. He came over to say goodbye..."Great so you were leaving without even saying goodbye" I said....he looked at me and said if you knew how many times I have walked this road hoping to see you and now just as I am catching the bus there you are!... We exchanged emails and numbers and he told me where to find him if I come to Sai....." I have a confession to make" he said....and I thought ok here we go I have a wife and 10 children....." I really want to sleep with you...so I must go" "yes you must ..goodbye and good luck" I replied. I felt like I had lost someone again...I stopped for a chai and thought about it, I was glad he was gone, I was spending too much time with him, this is not why I am here. Depression lasted for all of 10 minutes, and then I thought about the children and the class. It was a great success...the pods look beautiful, actually very aboriginal. Ma came to see them! I am lucky that this is my savour, the others are painting and decorating ( I have done enough of that!) . We all have to work in silence unless it is to do with work.....
I read one of her books again...she is so practical. Her words of wisdom and advice are clear...you must have faith, practise detachment and pray. You may practise any religion you wish (this is all man made) do whatever practise you desire, ask for what you want....but true enlightment for the earth will only be when there is no religion, no colour, no rich, no poor.....when all is one. So with my buddies having left town I have six days to get the most out of this experience....I have just eaten the most divine, sweet papaya.....walked down new roads...have decided to have something made down RR Road..(Oxford Street) and if it is one thing I would like to change is these bloody people pissing in the streets....India the land of Sun, Sand and PEE......
