Walk The World !


Early Monday morning, came across this small group of Jain Sadhavis walking. I just stood there & watched them walk. Peacefully,steadily,definitely. Minimum baggage....no mobile, no tablet, no wallet, no ego. 

The Jain holy-men and women are known to walk from one place to another,they never take a bus or a car but walk.walk.walk.Many times barefoot. They prefer to be constantly on the move and don't settle in one place. Aka home. Who needs a home when the entire world is yours or some might philosophize that  even if you can own everything nothing will belong  to you...you just have the journey....

The best way to experience the world, to assimilate,  is to Walk; All the Greats of the world have walked endlessly from the Buddha to the Mahatma. 

When was the last time you WALKED , not to your office , or to the store or for some work but to NOWHERE...aimlessly...not wanting to reach anywhere but enjoying the 'now'. 

Go take a walk... you'll discover the world....maybe 'yourself' too....
