Events like the Kumbh Mela are harbingers of a future reality. It is like going into a time warp and tasting what being in a particular field of consciousness is like. Those of us who are fortunate to find ourselves at the Kumbh Mela must learn to focus ever more on our higher spiritual goals whilst in the midst of the noise and grandeur of the events here. This place is full of maya, full of illusion, full of false trails everywhere. You will see more Sadhus and Mahatmas here in one place than in your whole lifetime.
Holy men are everywhere.
It is far more difficult than deciding which mobile phone or tariff option to go for. Here there are no leaflets or comparative tables. There is so much choice in our world today. We must learn to be discerning. We must learn to know what we truly want and need.
