03/06 - Monday Morning

A lazy Sunday, often translates into a late and hectic Monday. And a partner-in-crime spouse doesn't help either. Rising late, clearing the kitchen, and my stomach, of last night's debris, took a long time. Eventually, I settled into a corner of my bedroom to meditate, as the cook had already arrived and was busy making noise. 

I completed my Pranayama successfully, with a reasonably pliant nose. The mind however, was temperamental. After waking up from an annoying dream today, I found my mental state to be as expected, annoyed! Hence, I resorted to watching my thoughts and after a few minutes of this, I was able to restore my attention , back to attention itself, rather than the thoughts and feelings. 

Later, as I was relishing some Sattu Paranthas, thanks to our hired professional steel drummer, I listened to Swami Chinmayanand. The one and only, founder of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the source of Chinmaya in the Chinmaya Mission. He is the most vigorous, enjoyable & lucid speaker and gets instantly to the essence of all spiritual teachings. Such joy, so grateful. 

Aum.
