Just having recently visited Ramesh Balsekar in Bombay, he writes about his own state: "Whenever there are a few moments (between two happenings), I find myself doing one of three things: either I walk briskly for physical exercise, or I lie down and rest, or I sink into a spontaneuos meditation. I have no preference. When I begin the walk or lie down on the bed, japa (Om Namah Shivaya) begins spontaneusly. It really does not seem to matter, one way or the other, wether the interval is five minutes or thirty minutes." ------------------------ Yahoo!
