Just finished quarter of my one year journey. Initially, I wanted to be disonnected completely. I'd to come home after spending 3 months in a Vipassana Meditaiton center meditating/volunteering. I was given such responsibilites where I'd to use phone and the internet again and again. However, it was not a hinderance in my practice. Met very interesting people in those 3 months. Realised how much the knowledge gained through travelling/working was coming handy in dealing with the issues in the operation of the meditation centre. Worked so hard in strengthening my equanimity. It was so nice to see people coming and going with the graceful smile. Understood that the transfermation in every individual leads to the better nation. And everyone who is volunteering in such places are serving the nation in whole. What do you say? I've asked one of the seniour Assistant Teachers there, Q: The nation would have missed Anna Hazare, Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi,
It's all about real life as it happened or as it is perceived... (The journey of being a soldier to Marketing Executive, from being a farmer to a Call Center Employee and finally a yogi...)
