with Sri Ganesh

… After the puja, while I am doing some emergency watering in the garden, M. comes in and does some elaborate and dramatic flower offering all over and then sits and sings some slokas of Ramalingam Vadalur to the Grace-Light and also offers Rs, 50/- and two samples of his new visiting-card for his landscaping business which he has named, of course, “Vinayaka Landscapes” located on the Main Road, Edayachavadi, with Krishnaswamy as the contact person… It seems that Anand and Selvam have managed to sit with M. a couple of days ago and that M. would have agreed to return the keys on certain conditions, which I have not yet been told… … Early this morning Gita phoned from Amritsar to inform me she had somehow found her way to get the maps, the letter and a covering letter written by her and Sumant over to the Minister’s own office, regarding the Highway, with the promise from his assistant that it would be given at least reading attention…

Sometimes you show yourself Engaged In abstruse figures, A language of potent motions And stances That is not accessible To earthly men’s minds – If and when One forgets One’s surrender to the Lord: The joy and peace Of not wanting Anything Separate – Then one is ready to watch Your enigma And know again The tenderness coursing In you... This alienation Could cause fear

Aum Namo Bhagavate.
