understand why we would focus on the "tracks ahead" as said in your

post.

 

 

Dear ecjenson ~ I may be remembering this wrongheadedly, but I believe the

person who wrote about focusing on the tracks ahead did mean to suggest this

was not the best approach. I have to say, I love this train analogy so much. It

is quite elegant, besides being fun. And being an artist, I can just see

Amma with her bun and Her beautiful hair escaping from Her white shawl (or

whatever you call the part that goes over the head).

 

I think if we look at the train analogy from the perspective of spiritual

practice, then we are in the cars, being in the present moment, whether that be

looking at the beautiful scenery out of the window, saying our mantra,

interacting with one another, being aware of Mother at the wheel, etc. This

analogy inspired me so much. I had to go to bed at 11:00 this morning because I

felt so sick, and while I was lying there, a song, based on this whole train

thing, came to me. It is a silly little song, but when it is done, I will share

the words with the group.
