with Sri Ganesh

White Light, For a beat of Time You appear, Again and again, Constant and truly Loyal…

… These days it feels like the way is blocked: everywhere is such a mystery, and this semi-autonomous process which is supposed to be “me” seems to be bereft of any further possibility…!

But the little aspiration there is, The little love for beauty and Harmony, The little gratitude, The little perception of That There is still, Let me offer here, Let me offer here, Sri Ganesh, At that secret door, facing your Great beauty.

… Yesterday morning – Sunday -, M. came to find me at home, bringing incense, pebbles from the Ganga and Ganga water in a labeled can. I found out later from Parthy, who was here doing the puja as every Sunday, that M. had already laid these, and another can and a couple more bottles, before Sri Ganesh, along with an explanatory slip; Parthy had left the temple without meeting M. Yet, M. came to me mid-morning, which means he had gone into the temple right after Parthy had left, to retrieve these items and bring them to me… He came with a youth, whom he introduced as a cousin of his; he asked me for more money and I gave him another Rs. 500/-. I did not find any change in his condition: the same vital pinch is operating… And so, today, I too offer again these pebbles and incense packets from the North, to Sri Ganesh – but I have left the water can at home.
