Raja has grown !!

Today i took Raja in a 3 wheeler for his booster shot. He has grown!! Now he is 9.1 kg (earlier he was 7 kg). His face has changed, too.

I can see him across the road eating grass at the lamppost.

I forgot to talk about Amma's darshan. It was scheduled at 10 am at the Vasant Kunj (Mata Amritanandmayi Math). I found a car at the RKP red light with an Amma sticker, and followed it all the way. (Nelson Mandela Marg till Vasant Kunj Marg then left). Was seated at 8:45. There was about 2 hours of bhajans and an hour of some teachings in Hindi (translated by some person) and a meditation. At 1 pm the darshan began, i was in the B3 batch, and was out within 30 minutes. I went up with a huge smile feeling joyous, but when she hugged me, i felt a surge of emotion and got up choking.

Throughout the four hours i was there, i kept bringing myself back to awareness. I was doing enquiry during the bhajans.

The suffering in this world that i see around me is intense and unabating. I have to put in all effort into enquiry, no wasting time here and there, allowing the ego to distract me with its small promises of momentary "feeling good" with some thought.
