In 2018 do notice these simple smiling moments of daily life Day 252

Using public transport to find bliss in a remote ashram

There are many people in remote places who are doing profound contribution to mankind.

I had heard so much about the stellar work done by a team of volunteers at an interior village that I just had to visit this place on my own.

So after asking a lot of questions about the location and using a scooter, public bus, another rickety bus and an autorickshaw, I finally reached the place.

It felt so serene to be in the ashram. But more importantly the people within seemed to living in their own cozy world, in bliss, as they prepared themselves to take wonderful action in their contribution to humanity.

More importantly the sense of humility that was present in the ambience was something that struck at my heart. They were a rare breed that believed in action and not in publicity for their actions.

After a wonderful Satsang discussion with enlightened souls, it was time to leave that place and come back to reality.

I chose another route this time, I walked through the serene village roads, shared an auto with simpletons, changed 2 buses to smile finally reach the real world that we call home.

So in 2018 do notice these simple smiling moments. Have a smiling year!
