woman and gold ... the believer is happy, the doubter miserable ... both are deluded - to know oneself is to forget oneself

one eyed jack - my fav dog in our street napping

have to start writing here somehow so why not now. the journal title I took from the gospel of Ramakrishna (beautiful reading of course) and it actually is - woman and gold (found the page to change it:). He means the life of householders by that or rather the deluded seeking of worldly things. Nothing against either of the two - just the way it is. And being deluded is ok I guess as long as one is not aware of it - then the seeking starts and the spiritual ego takes over which is even harder to cut to scale I learned, oh well - my ego is enjoying a medium sized flu or such at the moment, he he. So I am in India and not really travelling at the moment cause I am visiting my mum who is retired and moved here some years ago. Arrived last November and its my first trip to India. Loved it the minute I set foot on here and thank consciousness I am detached enough not to get phased by all the challenging ... 'ways,things,customs' that one can encounter in this incredible country. I learned my english as a teenager living in the UK for a while so it may sound funny or strange sometimes - Germans hey. I am in the middle of India, Andra Pradesh, small town and were not flooded. Just read that some 20 million people are affected by the monsoon this year and I don't know about it - here all is good and it rains nights mostly and moderately. I have not been anywhere really in the whole time except living a 'simple' life here and taking a day at a time. So that is what I can write about. My first go at journal or blogging as well. And I am a painter not a writer! :) So welcome whoever and wherever you are and Namaste. Torsten
