The bible-thumping, sign-holding, megaphone-using assasins for Christ were out on campus today. I was
attacked by one holding a
huge sign who had a small child with her. The
child shoved a quarter sheet of paper at me.
Out of Habit I said, "Save the tree." (A lot of
organizations like to give out
flyers on our
campus promoting their
events. Which is not only a
hideous waste of paper, but also a
shame because there is no
recycling program on campus.) The
woman turned around and yelled after me, "We'd rather
save your soul." I stopped walking and turned around and looked at her. "I'd rather you
do your part in saving the
tree." I went on my way to class.
In my first year Sanskrit class we talked about the cosmological significance of some of the concepts we've learned. The Language is tied to some pretty big concepts. There's a lot more to Om then you would think.
