I don't know if you have been in Madhuban recently but the last few years there has been a chai stand where Bholi Dadi used to sleep, between the toli kitchen and the middle kitchen (also known in the old days as the 'sick kitchen'), where foreigners often used to go looking for gentle solutions to digestive problems! You see, no matter what happens, no matter what opinions people hold ... chai can bring people together. Unless it's dish water chai, then forget it. All bets are off! I realise perhaps people want some deep conversation on this forum. Well, I have decided that being shallow and meaningless is sometimes a lot more spiritual than being deep and meaningful all the time. Like it says in Zen, - "don't seek the truth, just cease to cherish opinions". To stop identifying with the ego of the mind, and just be who you are. Boy, what a relief! Anyway ... I am off for a pre-class chai. Ciao, chai.
