Volunteered for Seva (service) Day at the Art of Living Foundation. From 9:00am until 1:00pm we gardened and then received a delicious meal as our reward.

Kabir was a mystic poet and saint of India, whose writings greatly influenced the Bhakti movement. He lived 1440 - 1518 A.D. He wrote:
ReplyDeleteThe words guru, swami, super swami, master,
teacher, yogi, murshid, priest --
most of those
sporting such a title are just peacocks.
The litmus test is
to hold them upside down
over a cliff for a few hours.
If they don't wet
their pants ...
maybe you found a real one.
