Only God Is Truth, Everything Else Is Illusion - Ramakrishna
Total Surrender of Ego to SELF is Real Bhakti - Ramana Maharshi
Silence is the study of the scruptures. Meditation is the continuous thinking of Brahman which is to be meditated upon. The complete negation of both by knowledge is the vision of truth – sadAcAra-14 of Adi SankarAcArya

It can be either/or, but usually it's a mouse.
So, one of my fears became realised yesterday. I am being evicted.
This flat I rent is so old, it's falling apart and the developers want to demolish it along with a few neighbouring units, build a condominium on the site and let it out to young, working families (not single people) at double the rent I am currently paying. My country town is turning into 'Legoland' and has been engulfed in the 'urban sprawl' that is Sydney, Australia. I live 150kms away from Sydney.
I have been living here for 10 years and I pay $200/wk rent. Flats/houses/units within a 500km radius are all let out at $400/wk now and I am on Social Security payments because I cannot find employment and thus cannot afford them. I am being kicked out onto the street. I have 90 days to vacate.
There is only one option for me now. In her will, my grandmother left me a tiny cottage on 1/3 acre in the middle of nowhere about 70kms from here. It has no power, sewer, town water and I cannot afford to get them put on like never, but at least it's a 'roof overhead' protecting me from the elements and that's all.
The land is inaccessible by road, it's built on the side of a stone mountain (the soil is barren) and actually, the land is totally worthless and it cannot be sold (I have tried many times before...even giving the damn thing away...nobody wants to pay the rates on it, even).
So, Lord Shiva wants me to renounce the world now, it seems. I am cool with that (but I wish I had sewerage, if anything). lol
Aum Namah Shivaya
When you feel fear of something unfamiliar, take it as a sign that you need to get to know a person or situation better.
