On the Road Trip

.....contd.....


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.
