Surrender
When cit (consciousness) comes in contact with jadam (ego/mind), it (jadam) loses its nature. This is surrender.
My first night, my first morning in Kabir’s house in Assagao. I slept very well, it is quiet here at night. I went to the main house, Kabir and Kerry were already up. First I made a coffee. I bought some good muesli yesterday, so I could enjoy this now with linseeds, honey, and milk. Kabir and I were preparing some food for brunch, they would arrive at 11:30. We made some fried Indian spiced potatoes, fried zucchini, mushrooms, fried eggs, bread and cheese, a beetroot salad, and boiled raw milk with bananas.
Asoka and Caius arrive, Asoka is Kabir’s daughter, and Caiusis his grandchild. Elisabeth and Ingo arrived, two Germans living for 40 years in India.
They both know Walli. With Walli, I was working in “Bum Shanka”, a shop in Hamburg for Asian handicrafts, jewelry, and musical instruments, founded by him and Suniti. Suniti is the mother of my son. Suniti passed away unexpectedly this year.
In the afternoon I used my scooter for the first time. It works very well, I can activate an eco button, so when I stop the motor is off, just accelerate and the motor will start. First I needed some petrol. It takes around 20 minutes to Vagator.
So I drove first to the petrol station in Vagator. Vagator was the first village and beach where I ever have been in Goa in 1980. On the way to Vagator and in Vagator there are so many shops and Restaurants now, it’s unbelievable.
Also, the beach is quite crowded with people and even cows are there. But only Indian tourists are here, not Westerners. It changed completely, OK 1980 is 44 years ago, last time I was here was in 2014 with my Indian girlfriend Preeti. I was walking along the beach, even some of the rocks I recognized in the water and beach.
We were playing frisbee here on the beach. I sat down in one of the Restaurants and had a soda lemon. Then I went back to my scooter and drove back to Assagao. I will try other beaches here, Goa has quite many. We had some dinner, talking with Kabir about our life experiences. Later we did again this Tibetan Meditation for an hour, it was quite relaxing.
