India is hot and humid, a fertile ground for insects of various kinds. I was postponing doing something about increasing colonies of coakroaches in my house. I could not postpone the job indefinitely however, and used a type of chalk to mark out a few areas inhabitated by the insects. In the morning I was appalled to see many of them dead and many under death throes. I felt sad and remorseful. I prayed for peace and disposed of the bodies.

How painful the tasks of God's agencies that clean up through natural disasters, disease, war etc., could be, without the knowledge of spirit and matter (Purusha and Prakriti)? I wish and pray that may God grant us freedom from bondage to a limited body-mind and reveal the immortal and fearless truth.
