The Spiritual Ego.
So Anju n me while loafing around yesterday evening ended in the Iskcon temple. There was kirtan going on and I requested that we would like to participate for just a little while. The gang leader ...my God the arrogance on her face...and the way she asked me ...what can you sing?? as if we were there to do some item song. I understand they already have fixed schedule and we were just new to them. The tone could have been polite and saying NO is totally fine if done in a dignified manner. Well everyone doesn't know that there is a word GRACE. You may do 100 rounds of chants ...endless kirtan but if you don't have the humility and grace you are a piece of SHIT! Tall...dark....not always guys...but The spiritual ego !!! In the same breath I like to share the way Anju takes attendance for the online kirtan group in the evening and welcomes everyone to sing..chant ...speaks about the strength of this group. As Ashish mentioned to me, this group is not a cult! God bless you al
