Real freedom is freedom from the body, mind and ego, and not freedom of the body, mind and ego.
I had big blisters on both feet this morning. It is really painful to walk. Anyway I had a shower and later I left for Satsang. When I came to the Ashram I met a German guy who is taking care of the scooters, so they are nicely parked. He suggested having a footbath, Sri Ramana Marharshi mentioned this already, after doing the Pradakshina. Coconut oil or Aloe Vera should also help.
After Satsang, I saw a message from Sarah, she was again at Sunshine Guesthouse on the rooftop, doing this Yoga or Feldenkrais thing. She would have lunch at Edwin’s and asked me to join if I want. I was first buying some new soap and water in the supermarket. Back in my apartment I was reading a while before leaving to Sunshine Guesthouse. I was waiting for a while but Sarah didn’t show up. I was not sure as her mobile was off, if she is already at Edwin’s. I was driving to Edwin’s to check, it is just two minutes to drive. Sarah was not there, so I went back to Sunshine Guesthouse, and there she was. Back to Edwin’s for lunch.
Sarah also said to get some coconut oil. We stopped at the pharmacy, but they just had some other medication for the blisters. So I dropped Sarah in the cow corner, she is living close there. I drove to the petrol station, then to the supermarket where I got some good organic pure coconut oil. I can use it also for my skin instead of body lotion which I ran out of.
I was happy to be home and don’t have to move anymore. I creamed my feet with the oil and had a nap. The rest of the day I just spent in bed not moving anymore. I still have some bananas, so I don’t have to starve. Anyway, good to lose some weight. I am eating less for a while, especially no more biscuits and other sweets or salty stuff. Just ice cream now and then.
