Thus Spake The Lord

 

 

 

Life is a long elaborate car-festival. The procession will be very elaborate and long. Drums, cymbals, bhajans, bands of musicians, even clowns will march ahead. Flags and festoons, arches and pandhals will be erected in the path of the chariot or temple car. Elephants richly caparisoned, horses with silver trappings, bullocks and cows, their horns tipped with silver jingles, and villagers dancing folk lilts may also be there. But what are all these for? It is not for these that pilgrims come for long distances at great expense. All these is to highlight the many storied chariot, which itself is but the vehicle of the Idol, which itself is but a symbol of the Lord, that everyone has come to adore! Similarly, remember that all the vanities and displays of life, the clownings and the dances, the miming and the mumbling, the parades and pastimes which constitute life are only for the adoration of the Lord. ...Every activity must be judged and evaluated against that background. Concentrate on the central theme of life, not on the frills and edges.

 

Life is not all smooth riding. It is a series of ups and downs. Bharath has taught and practiced the art of smooth travel for centuries. Learn that art and be at peace.
