Me, My Guru- On a Road trip
Day
Two:
Yesterday,
we had been to a temple town at around 4pm and stayed there overnight. Entire
evening passed visiting the various temples in that place. Few of us even
shopped a bit. I think with women, it was inevitable. No, I am not including my
Guru in that group. She sat in one of the temples till 9pm and joined us for
dinner in the guest house.
Today
we had been to a cathedral in the morning. It was beautiful. The place was such
a small one and yet the cathedral was so huge and magnificent when we were in
the church, choir was in progress. It was divine. It was beautiful. We no let
me say I enjoyed listening to it. I don’t know about others. I saw my Guru even
kneeling down to pray. That surprised quite a few of us. She discusses Hindu
scriptures confidently and yet was at home in that church. She stayed there for
more than an hour where as we finished it in say 15minutes.
When
we were in bus I took liberty to sit beside her and then I asked her “what took
you so long to come out of that church?” She said “Peace and Love”. I was
floored. We were looking at benches and people in church and no doubt we
wrapped up our visit so soon saying there’s nothing much to seen. Where as she
was experiencing the presence of divine and hence was held there for such a
long time. I smiled at our stupidity of seeing things superficially. I couldn’t
dare ask anything more.
