Question from Steve:
Have you any thoughts on clothing, how perhaps the person who is
living in our secular world, BUT wishes to transition our hearts
OUTWARDS ... does it begin in a small way, like wearing a locket or
108 threaded beads under one's shirt?

The long flowing clothing of the spiritual person seems so much more
suited to expressing love of God than suit and tie, which seems more
like armor or a uniform.

Swamiji's response:
The real change is within, after which we can wear any uniform. But in
the beginning all the little ornaments, tokens, reminders, we can
find, will be of help.

Thank you Swamiji, it is true.

And thank you too Nanda.
