QUARANTINE
Some are having trouble with the lock down, some are not. And some have found a way to use it spiritually. I'm sharing this, composed by a young girl Nandini in Mayapur, in hopes any reader out there will be uplifted, plus start putting some of this into action in their own lives as a meditation, and/ or to compose your own. Writing can also be a form of meditation when used to glorify God.
"May I be quarantined in the heart of Sri Sri Radha Madhava for the rest of eternity.
May They have me locked down beneath Their reddish lotus feet for the rest of eternity, keeping me safe from the virus of illusion.
May They increase my immune system by giving me the vitamins of Their service.
This is an order from the government of my heart to the citizens of my mind, during the lockdown period which will extend till the existence of the soul.
Let me use the hand wash called sincerity, to cleanse me of the germs of superficiality. (This should be done as many times in the day as possible, for at least 20 seconds, as per the time of Lord Brahma. )
Let me keep great distance from the people called lust, anger, pride and hypocrisy who have arrived from a foreign land full of virus.
Let me at the least keep a two meter distance of anger, from anyone who sneezes and coughs out harsh words against You or Your devotees.
Let me cover my mouth with the tissue of intelligence, whenever I cough or sneeze any complaints about the service of Your Lordships.
Let me always keep in my mouth the antivirus of Your holy names and pastimes."
Please chant:
and be happy. :)
