The Way of the Saints

"The Salt of life is selfless service;
The water of life is universal love;
The sweetness of life is loving devotion;
The fragrance of life is generosity;
The pivot of life is meditation;
The goal of life is self-realization" - A great Indian Saint

I read this today in a book, and it's true. I think all we really want in life is self-realization and happiness. The question is, how do we get there...

I had a great weekend. My friend and co-worker came down from Bangalore (in Bangalore for work) to Goa. It was so nice to see a familiar face and to have conversations with someone who knows exactly what you are talking about and who can relate to you. We went to Calangute, Baga, had a great lunch and dinner and finished off the night at the Saturday Night Market in Baga. We saw so many hippies and "weird" non-Indian people. It felt like an oasis for the unique and eclectic souls of the world.

We spend Sunday near her hotel in Arrusam and spent the day at the beach. Swimming and laying in the sun...ahhh. Sad she's gone now, but it was so nice to see her.

life is good
