THIS IS THE END, MY ONLY FRIEND THE END.
The words of Jim Morrison echo through my subconscious as I douse my sleepy face with ice cold water using a funky old lota at 4:30 am at Prashanti. Why is it that so many lyrics from songs I listened to in high school continuously repeat themselves in my brain and find their way onto my tongue? Have not I heard enough times about the value of silence? The value of the name of God? The beneficial purpose of introspection and self inquiry? AM I not at a Yoga University in India? Learning the ancient truths of the scriptures passed down through the ages to convey enlightenment and peace. Yet first thing upon arising I find peace by singing, by rapping, or recollecting some song related to life in a culture I have left behind so many years before. Yet somehow it remains with me, it seems beyond my control to erase the samskars and vasanas within me. SO I learn to live and tolerate and adjust myself to my current space in the time-space complex I call reality. But it sure as hell is strange.
