Posting a new short video soon.dedicated to Mandy and my dear friends the Marko’s!..It’s a great day, and I sing:

Anandaddheyva khalwimani bhutani jayante

anandena jantani jivanti

anandam pryantyy abhisamwishanti.

Out of bliss, these beings are born

In bliss they are sustained

And to bliss they go and merge again.

From my friend Shaas

God Exists – A Nice Story

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: “I don’t believe that God exists.”
“Why do you say that?” asked the customer.

“Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can’t imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.”

The customer thought for a moment, but didn’t respond because he didn’t want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: “You know what? Barbers do not exist.”

“How can you say that?” asked the surprised barber. “I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!”

“No!” the customer exclaimed. “Barbers don’t exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.”

“Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me.”

“Exactly!”- affirmed the customer. “That’s the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens is that people don’t go to Him and do not look for Him. That’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”

A gigantic “Thank You” to Tom Egenes who came to Jupiter to spend the day giving 8 friends and myself a seminar practicing Sanskrit and discussing Maharishi’s translation and knowledge of these beautiful expressions. Being in the company of this small group of devoted, pure-heart people and experiencing the final levels of the expressions was really divine! I am very inspired and up-lifted and the most amazing thing is that the transference to this point was just a matter of attention and hearing again what I know to be true. It is all so simple and lively and fresh. I have to laugh at myself for getting so complicated sometimes. It really is all about seeing the big picture and transcending and then completely enjoying whatever comes. A million thanks to Tom for re-awakening that voice inside that has seemed to be on vacation for the last month or so! Hi again!! Namaste and Jai Guru Dev.
