Surrender
‘Shishyatvam‘ (being a disciple) is a quality where one does not want to exist as a separate entity.
We had chai, and then Kabir and I did our morning Meditation. Kabir made some Indian breakfast with fried rice. This morning, I put all my white stuff in the washing machine. In a way, it is more efficient than washing by hand. I was working with my laptop on issues with the Linux package system (whatever this means to you). The two Yoga ladies left today, back to Europe.
Around lunch, I left to visit Zorba Vibes at Amadi Beach. It is south of Arambul, and Arambul is already the northernmost part of Goa. That is where all the Westerners have been for years. There was a shift from the alternative scene from Vagator to the North. In Vagator, there are only Indian tourists now.
It takes around 30 minutes for Zorba Vibes. Kabir said Zorba Vibes is owned by an Osho Sannyasin, but I didn’t meet him there. I had some lunch and was just watching the ocean and the beach. After a while, I was walking down to the beach.
I left my bag and clothes next to the boats and was walking towards the water. The water is really warm here. Such a difference to the cold Atlantic in Portugal.
I was in the water for a while. I didn’t change my swimming trunks, they will dry by themselves. I went to another Restaurant at the beach and had a banana milkshake. I love these Indian milkshakes. Here is a mix of Indians and Westerners at this beach.
After a while, I went back to Zorba Vibes. In the restroom, I changed my clothes. And back with my scooter. On the way I had to pass the Chapora River, there is a long bridge and a beautiful view of Goa’s nature.
There is quite heavy traffic on the road, it is Saturday. I went into a supermarket to buy some milk, cheese, and coffee. They didn’t have milk, I will try another place. I remember a time where there were no supermarkets, just small shops with a few things. I mean it’s not a supermarket like in Germany or Portugal, more a minimarket. Anyway you get all you need.
Back home I just had some bread with cheese or peanutbutter. We had a Meditation, quite late today. Yanus, the General Manager from Kerries company, joined us, his first Meditation ever. It’s quite hard to sit for one houur when you never have done. After the Mediation I was in my room, watching some series. One of my favorites is “The Big Bang Theory”. It is so funny with these highly intelligent nerds and their girlfriends.
