“She does so much charity- feeding stray dogs; provide water for birds and small animals but there is no happiness on her face. I never noticed her smiling!” I told my yoga students when I saw that stern faced woman passing through the pavement.
My students were fonder of gossiping than
yoga after all they were like their teacher. :)
One elderly student narrated her
story, “Many years back her husband accidentally fell in the water tank situated
in their farm house. It was a deep tank, full of water. It was almost impossible
to come out of that tank. Somehow, he came out. God saved him and he decided to
devote his rest of life to God. He took sanyasa and constructed an ashram in
the farmhouse. Now he lived there and never visited the city. She raised her
children alone who were young at that time although they were financially sound
but you know how hard it is being a single mother. Her children are now well
settled. To keep a balance, half month she stayed with her children and other
half in the ashram.”
