Layers of relative truth
one may apply today
others at different times
in our changing lives.
In principle I want
the Absolute and highest Truth,
yet my desires and conditioning
prevent my following that completely.
I try to make the Absolute Truth
my northern star guiding me---

from making my heart one with Krishna.
Scriptures, spiritual spouse,
friends, saints and guru

There are certainly more "countrified" places than we live in......I mean there is a "convenience/gas station/general/pay too much store" only 5 minutes away.

Kalachandji wearing His fancy turban and Radharani was there giving out blessing for all who came to see her beloved, Sri Krishna, on His most wonderful appearance day.
The devotee danced ecstatically for the pleasure of Their Lordships, led in a...
