Puppets in the Hands of Krsna…
I had a nice experience in Columbus Ohiio at Ohio State University. It was the 7th day I'd worked the school and I usually don't work the same place that long so I was getting a little ready to move on.
I was approaching people and not many were taking, but I continued and then all of a sudden I handed the book to this wonderful soul and he practically exploded in jubilation. He said, "Woa! This is incredible!"
He started going off about how he was amazed that this was happening and how cool he thought it was, how he had been looking for a Bhagavad Gita and was just starting to become interested in spirituality. His voice and body were overflowing with excitement and enthusiasm and as I gave him an invitation to the temple he said he would definitely go. It was so cool how the mood changed from frustrating to exhilarating in one moment.
From then on it was as if I was just watching myself interact with the living entities like a marionette in the hands of some transcendental puppet master. It became entertaining to see what kind of episode would play out before me from moment to moment as I continued in wonder enchanted by what was going on.
Especially at colleges it seems like I meet someone every day who has a similar reaction as this person and every time it inspires me so much to continue. Hoping this inspires some others as well.
Your Servant,
