Wisdom
An unconscious life is ignorance. A very conscious life is wisdom.
I slept a little longer today than the nights before. Still enough time to read, to write, have a shower. I went directly to Satsang this morning, also, there I was a bit later than usual. Still early enough to get a chair. Other than yesterday, the first question was asked in the first minute. When Shiva has so much power, then why is he overpowered by the ego? A strong question. Amma didn’t respond immediately, it was answered within her following answers.
Today was the day for Nandhini’s Cafe. With my scooter I drove directly there. I asked for a wrap with taco and salad, but it was too early, just 11:00. So I asked for a grilled cheese toast with tomatoes. A good one with sourdough bread. And of course a black coffee. After my late breakfast, I continued searching for Indian sweets. It came to my mind that I could drive all around the Arunachala, the same way as the Pradakshina. I saw a sweet shop next to the bus terminal and bought a few pieces. I know they are full of sugar. In the documentary “When food is addictive” they mentioned that a food addiction is harder to stop than alcohol or other drugs. It is because food is needed, not the addictive kind of food, the highly processed food, but food generally.
Back home I tried a little of these sweets, yes they are very sweet. I will try to get some better ones somewhere next time. Then I had a nap for two hours. When I woke up, I was still a bit crashed, it took me 30 minutes to wake up fully. I left for the Ashram then, sitting next to Samadhi Hall, listening to the Chanting of Vedas. A chai on the other side of the road, dinner at the German Cafe, and I drove home again. Is it good or bad that on some days nothing special happens? It is as it is! Every day is different.
