It is more than 6 Months that my son has settled in Bangalore, working for OpenHouse which is into a different system of Teaching.
Many of my friends inquire how he is doing and how I feel about it.
I am thankful to all of you.
He will be coming Home soon along with Ma Durga.
Before that a post for all of you …

Dearest Rahul
You can read a hundred books on wisdom and post a hundred notes on your knowledge, but unless you put your foot forward what you learned then its only words. Life is not lived with intentions, but action. I am happy you are putting your learning to action. The present development of your Web Site is a proof of this.
Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift your eyes to the snarl and smile to the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add your little consequence to the tides of good that flood. Drag your Karma into the hope of another night. Push your brave heart into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be create.
Our need to have faith in ourselves. Be brave and take risk, you just might find what you are looking for. We are afraid to leave as much memories of ourselves with each other because if we take one step forward, we know one day we wouldn't be together. I remember you every day and think of our lives together. Of our learnings together.
When you have something sincerely to do, life will not allow you to rest until you move forward, until you do it. I am happy you moved forward. I see ourselves as different people, not a prototype. I am happy you have outgrown. I wondered how I could ever see such as we move forward.
This isn't a prayer anymore, it is just an argument with my god. Prayer, I suspect as I strived to move forward and turn towards for the door one February morning. Rehashing the past wouldn't change anything. It was time to move forward.
Bad, or good, as it happens to be, that is what it is to move forward. But moving forward, usually turns out to be good. It is as though, I have been silent and fuddled with sleep as you left home. In spite of all, I know now that at least it is better for you to move forward. Towards those burning seas of light; to sit at night with your companion in the in the forecastle lost in your dream, when the spirit becomes filled with stars and good and compassionate and tender. To sail into an unknown spring, or receive one's state of the Buddha on storm's promontory, where the solitary crow heels over in the gale, and at last come to land. To know the earth under one's foot and go, in wild delight, ways where there is land.
And I just think that if you believe in something and you want it so much and without hurting anyone else, you have to put your foot forward.
Always move forward,
With Lots of Love
Baba
