HIS PHONE
His Phone
Ages & Epoch belong to time, Only the fleeting moment is
Eternal
Learning
3 step rhythmic breathing technique (3SRB) every 3 days a week was a regular
routine past four years. Every Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday evening my yoga teacher would play on his typical
INTEX 10,000 rupees simple android
mobile phone, music related to these
breathing exercises & I use to do sincerely those 9 exercises to evolve in
every way possible. His phone was like his data store, talks of Sarvapriyananda
from Vivekananda Center, Meditation & Yoganindra steps of Swami Raam, Eckhart
Tolle lectures, Prayers & what not. Many times when he faced problems in
downloading his favorite lectures from internet, or missing some good video
series from what’s up, we , his few close students use to push him to change his
INTEX mobile so that he can enjoy his teaching & learning with a much
better tool. But he was so much attached to his INTEX phone, he always use to
say, I am comfortable with this phone, not the touch screen things… I like this button-kind simple tool for my
spiritual records & exercise music.
Suddenly
one fine day he got paralysis attack & soon we lost him. My life’s important
support system was gone in no time!! O Lord, His demise was a great vacuum…. Amidst the pain & shock, I went to his
house to wish my last goodbye & prayers. Reaching there, I went close to
his garlanded picture to pay my homage & offered flowers. There, I saw on a nearby table along with
speakers was his phone, that same black INTEX phone. I was speechless &
stunt for few moments. It was difficult to digest that his favorite phone was
now playing bhajans & prayers on his own death!! This phone had almost become an identity of my
teacher for all these years. But today,
the time was revealing something different.
The
INTEX became a messenger for the harsh naked truth of life that NOTHING IS PERMENANT. Live in this moment, live in NOW, only that moment
is yours, nothing else. Impermanence is the law of Universe said Carlene
Hatcher Polite. The
only permanent thing in this impermanent world is the imprint of pure love.
Like his teachings these years, his death also became a great lesson of life,
the lesson of IMPERMENANCE.
