All Forms Are Unstable
July 2nd, 2008 by Pete
After our last Satsang gathering at Gurukula, our friend, John Walker, returned home, went to bed and finally drifted off to sleep listening to a CD talk by Eckhart Tolle. At 2.30am, John was woken to a major shock. A car being pursued by police crashed through a wall into the room where John was sleeping. The flying bricks stripped the bedding off him and grazed his back, bum and legs. His headset he had been wearing ended up at the foot of the bed on the floor under the rubble! It made a news story on all our TV channels. We’re so thankful John’s form was preserved.
John’s narrow escape reminded us of some apt words by Adyashanti when he said:
“This that you are is here to experience anything and everything that comes down the pike (highway). It’s the only way to experience the greatest love, the greatest freedom, in a way that’s permanent - not just a vacation. It’s a permanent abidance in the truth of your being.”
