Well ,I stay at an ashram dormitory,and some days are ethereally peaceful and some are really noisy.I remember ,when the situation came for me to stay at the senior citizen dormitory ,I went and peeped stuck my head in and ran ,not physically but mentally.I toyed with the idea and called on my courage to shift very reluctantly......needless to say tried to avoid ....... spoke ,requested all the people concerned if I could get a room.but every quarter was silent ,tried staying elsewhere it did not work.
The atmosphere in the ashram is so full of peace and love .....there is this feeling of contentment which I feed on .so after much testing the water ,if you will,I came into the senior citizen dormitory,ego lost and I won.Wow.thats HEAVY......
Then the actual challenges started ,people there are not calm and peaceful at all,fight for a bed,a piece of paper,lights off,lights on....you name it they fight over it.one day I was watching one of the fights and it was so painful to see,this was like the beggars on the street fighting for space ,a plastic chair ,very sad to watch.There is so much insecurity in them you can feel only sorry ,cannot get angry
on them at all.
So a new lesson started for me.no privacy,lots of noise,loud talking all the time.some suddenly at 2:00 a.m. feel like bath ,switch on the lights ....have bath without considering other people's discomfort .This was not even remotely my vision when I thought of staying in the ashram ,to
intensely practice spirituality.In actuality ,no place ,no one else can give it to you....neither it is that the circumstances will be congenial for your practice to find yourself ,it is to be found wherever you are in the depth of your heart.Ofcourse I was getting upset,angry ,frustrated....then suddenly a thought dawned on me ...If You Mind It Matters, If You Don't Mind It Does Not Matter.And all my
woes were gone.....blown with the wind.Its all in the mind ......if you let something disturb you,Yes,you will be disturbed.But if you do not mind ,it will not matter at all.you can remain in your peace even in the middle of the worse scenario .Never forget This Too Shall Pass. All the peace.
All the Love is yours to have ......nature in her abundance have kept all open ....for all who ...call on it.so don't worry be happy ....live in love and Joy.Natures mathematics is the more you give the more you get. So happy giving.Peace be to all .Shalom.
