Day 2: Giriraj Dandavat Parikram Musings

  • The resistance of the soul to utter self-surrender and dependence on Bhagavan represented in the difficulty of the body continuously offering obeisance
  • The sweat from the body are the tears the soul couldn’t shed when confronting the extent of her resistance. May the dust of Braj accept these somatic tears as supplication in exchange for my baptism in its dusty-wasters
  • The whole time I was chanting I can’t do this!
  • This is indeed the fact. It’s Grace that we’re grounded in moment to moment like the sun-ray whose existence is grounded in the sun disk moment to moment.
  • Although doing parikram in a group, we struggle/suffer alone. The subjective experience of one completely closed off to the other while in the process of namah. In the end it’s between me and the only other Person who has access to the privacy of consciousness. We’re alone with the Alone (in so far as there’s no other Reality similar or dissimilar to it).
