Cutting Short the Life
Here in Mauritius
I indicated on my slip that I have no ailments, but given
the fact that I was recently in India
and Africa , a nice man from the health unit
came to follow up at the household I'm staying.
A blood sample he did take. No
phone call from him would be a good sign.
For my health I took that trek from Flacq and let my host
and some other local followers of bhakti lead the way through the town and
outskirts, which are mostly sugar cane fields.
Admittedly, after a day in the air or in airports, addressing one’s
life-span is important.
With the same group, we sat after walking to review a verse
from the book, Bhagavatam. While reading a chapter entitled “the passing away
of Bhisma,” what captivated us all was some hopeful epiphany, the remark in the
verse that Krishna 's mere glance at the
Kauravas shortened their duration of life.
Luckily for the Kaurava army, the bad guys, their life was
abbreviated. More days of existence
would mean more offences to the public.
More offences means more bad karma.
Krishna , in the form of the Health Department, decided that a virus had to be eradicated. The Kauravas lost lives, big time, in the war
at Kuruksetra.
May the source be with you!
