My friend Nandan, a great story teller, once shared this with me…
We are all like flies going round and round on the rim of a funnel on a bottle of sticky delicious syrup. As long as we are on the flat edge, the journey is slow and we can get stuck there forever. For some the master appears, when he does, we start getting drawn into the funnel. As we slip on the downward slope, we find ourselves descedning faster and faster towards the neck of the funnel…..each circle around the sloping sides, taking us down faster…does “maut ka kuan” ring a bell. We slip down and then at one point just drop through the tube. This is the power of the master to draw us out of this unending cycle. This soul makes the contract….
