My friend visited the Dhyanalinga yesterday, for the first time.
Inside the temple, the thought that crossed him was: this is a fleeting life and will be gone without a moment's notice. Why would that thought come to him? And when the news of the Andhra CM's demise came in, it only reinforced his thought, very strongly. He was almost teary eyed and was saying - "We do all these things in life. For what? It could all be gone in a moment!"
Very weird - the way the Dhyanalinga works. Unfortunately, I've been able to glimpse this only in fleeting moments. What does it take!
Note: It's unfortunate that the CM had to pass away like this. But we were talking about that as well in the office today. How could we not find him for 24 hours+? It looks like our technological skills are sorely lacking and reflects very badly on our state of affairs. And this is the CM! I hope and wish all that passed away in that incident passed on peacefully.
Update - 5th Sep 2009: The next day, I saw the photograph of the Dhyanalinga on my friend's desk with fresh flowers in front of it. Whatever!
