I would be kidding if I say the thought never crosses my
mind, it does too…..,
Like many, I’m privy to regular counsel on what’s actually right
for me vis-à-vis’ what I feel is right for me. A lot of what comes my way is a casual reflection, some of it
indeed is a studied observation and all of it out of genuine concern --- Like
hell I’d like to believe, but didn't George Carlin say, it’s all about ‘their
stuff is shit & my shit is stuff’? & the other way around?……..this is
when the thought sweeps-in, of resorting to the very western gesture involving closing
my fingers tightly & raising the middle one.
Then again equanimity trumps aggression and of late I’m
tending to using more (mentally) this very eastern gesture of closing my palms
together & raising them to my head - after all, Thyagaraja swami did say a
long time ago, ‘endaro mahaanubhaavulu, andarikee vandanamulu’, to mean ~Great souls galore, I salute them all.
