TECHNICAL REPORT
I. Situation concerning the health
of plants
Initial state:
—Cocoa plantation more than twenty five
years old.
—Pruning done with hatchet, without technical
criteria.
—Broken branches, knuckles become sort
of nurseries for black ants.
—Felled trunk trees, stripped of branches
and leaves.
—Plants covered by moss and other parasitic
plants.
—An area with problems of ants called “Utaca”
which cut the leaves, which had
continued to destroy the foliage of most
cacao plants.
—Plants with no shoots at the base of the
trunk.
—Abundant weeds, especially the cortadera,
a pernicious weed which had reached
approximately two meters in height.
—Lack of the growing point in the plant,
due to wrong pruning.
—Ants in the cultivation field, turning
the soil unsuitable to grow new crops and
making agronomic management very difficult.
Thus, the place was abandoned
five years ago.
—The cocoa plantation was unproductive.
It had some very old fruits, destroyed
by the fungus Moniliasis.
Plant Diseases and Infestations
Plant diseases:
—Moniliasis: Moliopthora roreri with an
incidence of 90%
—Witches Broom: Crinipellis perniciosa
with an incidence of 60%
—Phytopthora with an incidence of 30%
—Moss and other parasitic plants with an
incidence of 100%
Infestations:
—Ants
—Insects which undermine fruits
II. Observations
Epidemiological Behavior
The cocoa plantation was in a situation
of emergency concerning the health of
plants. Three months after having
started the application of HOMA THERAPY, it
was determined that through the implementation
of this technique of organic
agriculture called HOMA THERAPY one can
observe the following:
—In the cocoa plantation, the presence
of Moniliasis, witches broom, phytophtora,
and attack from insects does not exist.
—Concerning production, one can observe
plants producing healthy fruits of good
size, showing a luminosity in the texture
of each cocoa fruit or bean.
—The plants are full of vigor and with
abundant foliage production .
—Most of the production units are in full
flowering. Flower cushions are well
activated, because there is a minimal presence
of moss in the trunk of the trees.
The moss dried up in spite of the rainy
season. These months of observation have
been the ones when the rains began.
The fact that the moss and other parasitic
plants dried out is due to the application
of HOMA THERAPY.
—The signs of witches broom and other sicknesses
and plagues were substantially
reduced until they disappeared. At
the same time, the production of healthy fruits
increased in number and quality, obtaining
greater and better cocoa beans/cocoa
seeds (almonds). A harvest was carried
out each ten days.
—Due to the quality of the cocoa seeds
which are free from sicknesses, a nursery
of cocoa plants got started, which is under
observation.
Behavior of the Leaves
From an average of 100 plants all look
full of vigor, free from stains in the leaves.
There is no vegetative witches broom.
The leaves are very healthy.
Pruning
After finding the cultivation in bad shape
due to the severe pruning carried out
without technical criteria, lacking signs
of life, the plants were showing their trunks
and stems split apart, providing a dwelling
for the ants. The trees had wounds
which gave favorable conditions for sicknesses
produced by fungus. With HOMA
THERAPY techniques, however, these trees
were rejuvenated. We can observe
positive results in the effect of control.
Badly developed plants, plants whose
trunk was left with no branches, branches
with old leaves, plants which could
barely breathe or carry out the photosynthesis
process are producing fruits, even
though this is not harvest time.
Cultivation of Mango
Concerning the cultivation of mango one
can observe a tree which had stopped
producing four years ago and had produced
only once. It was a plant with
problems in the leaves, which were full
of white stains.
Without any knowledge about this specific
sickness, the practitioners applied
HOMA THERAPY in September, the time of
greater flowering and fructification.
The outcome was very positive. The
tree started to produce mangoes again. Also,
mango plants from the neighbors adjacent
to this farm had problems with the fruit
fly, and they used to produce mangoes full
of worms. Now, in this year the fruits
are healthy and of good quality.
This means that the HOMA THERAPY technique
functions at all levels and it has an immediate
effect.
Cultivation of Citrus Fruits
—Lime tree with health problems, attacked
by utaca ants. These ants were
making holes in the leaves. The plants
also were suffering from defoliation. The
plants did not have any shoots at their
base.
—Orange tree with problems of antraerosis,
moss and ants.
After HOMA THERAPY techniques got started,
in a short while one could observe
the results. These plants had a TOTAL
RECUPERATION after applying HOMA
THERAPY. Each seven days new leaves
began to sprout. Thus the plants were
REJUVENATED. The same happened with
the lemon and cherry trees, which had
never produced fruit. Now they are
in full production.
Note: In this area of two hectares
of plantations from this region, such as cocoa,
mango, citrus fruits, coconuts, etc., where
HOMA THERAPY is applied, no agro-
chemical products are used.
Vasant had asked Dr.
Gloria Guzman to find a house with some land around it,
near Tingo Maria
in the Huanuco region. This area is like the gateway to the
Amazon. The
house was to be called, “La Casa de la Abuela,” which means,
“Grandma's House”.
Gloria located and rented such a house, and the Homa
Therapy work described
in the cocoa expert's report on the preceding pages took
place on this property.
The following are
the operational guidelines Vasant gave for the maintenance of
this house:
—Atmosphere should
be kept pure.
—Ashram like disciplines
should be observed.
—This is not a place
to just rest. Of course, if someone requires more rest, due to
physical conditions,
then that is necessary. But we should guard against laziness.
—It is not a matter
of, “I work two or three hours a day and the rest of the day I
am free.” It
depends on what work there is.
—Achieve balance
of physical and mental work. Laziness is the biggest drawback.
Guard against it.
—One should take
advantage of the opportunity to live in such a wonderful
environment.
One should observe the disciplines and plan accordingly.
—Attitude of all
should be one of service, consideration for others and working
towards the development
of the place. They should have an understanding of
exactly what this
place is developed for.
—There should be
firm guidelines printed for those who come for longer periods.
They should respect
these guidelines. There should be very simple rules regarding
conduct and attitude;
e.g., refrain from all alcohol and drugs during their time of
stay here.
On the property, no cigarettes, meat, poultry, fish or eggs.
—Whoever stays here
should be doing the disciplines. The minimum disciplines
are: morning and
evening Agnihotra, Homas at 10 A.M., 12 noon, 3 P.M., 6 P.M.,
9 P.M. and preferably
5 A.M. mantras. 4 A.M. mantras are optional. Truly sincere
people will wish
to know all, but not all at once.
—If someone comes
who wants to retreat, meditate, etc., that is fine for a short
time. Anyone
living here can practice meditation but also has to participate in
work. Then
it becomes more clear. IT ENHANCES THE MEDITATION
EXPERIENCE.
—If one is only interested
in meditation and sedentary life, then this is not the
place for them.
Two or three days is okay. There is so much to do. Such person
must do his share.
—Regular SATSANGS
should be held each week, on the same day, even if they are
attended only by
people living here. Let it begin.
The 20th century has rightly been referred
to by many distinguished
commentators as the Age of Technology.
Technology has advanced so fast and so
far in so many fields that we humans could
be forgiven for believing that we are
the most technologically advanced civilization
that has ever inhabited the planet.
However, this is certainly not the case
as we still have extant evidence of other
civilizations of far greater superiority
to ours. The most striking example is
probably the pyramids of Egypt. Still to
this day the precision of their construction
defies the imaginations of our top scientists
and engineers.
But despite the stupendous technological
advances of the 20th Century, disease
and famine still stalk the planet in several
countries unabated. Man is still subject
to natural disasters, floods, droughts,
etc. which take their toll in terms of human
life and misery. The technological paradise
which was augured earlier this century
has not actually materialized. Instead
we find ourselves as a race plunged into a
technological hell. We have witnessed failures
in the fields of technological
agriculture (chemical fertilizers and pesticides),
technological medicine (allopathic
drugs), urban sociology (along with the
escalation in technological gadgetry we
have also seen escalation in crime, child
abuse, domestic violence, drug and
alcohol abuse), unparalleled ecological
and environmental destruction in the name
of progress, the continuing specter of
war in many different countries and the prospect of extinction of all life
on the planet.
And this has occurred despite all good intentions.
Why? In spite of the application
of our finest minds and the best of intentions,
how is it that we are still faced with
such disgrace abounding?
I believe we can trace all of our difficulties
back to one aspect of human life which
been in eclipse for several millennia.
YAJNYA. Too simplistic? I don't think so. Let
us examine some of the claims made about
Yajnya. Since Yajnya has largely fallen
into oblivion for past several thousand
years, we shall necessarily have to delve
into the depths of antiquity to find any
relevant, authoritative references. The
following extract is taken from the book,
Grace Alone by Vasant V. Paranjpe, pp
33-34 wherein he quotes the Rishi (sage)
Charak, who is the author of several
works on the subject of Ayurveda:
"Performance of Yajnya nourishes plant life.
Since Yajnyas went into oblivion
and since the time animal flesh and blood
came to be associated with
offerings to Fire as a consequence of greed
by the people in power, medicinal
plants have undergone a qualitative deterioration.
Medicinal herbs, deprived of
atmospheric nourishment consequent on non-performance
of Yajnyas or
unscientific performance of Yajnyas, suffer
in their curative properties.
'(Owing to non-performance of duties enjoined
by the Vedas) we do not
get timely rains or receive untimely showers
or face drought or floods;
seasonal cycle is disturbed, water resources
get dried up, natural
properties of medicinal plants deteriorate
and the populace is ruined.'
- Charak, Viman
3-22'
Again to quote from Vasant V. Paranjpe,
this time from his book, Homa Therapy -
Our Last Chance, pp 24-25:
"Following paragraphs are written based
on Vedic knowledge related to
Yajnya as an antidote to pollution, revealed
by the great seers of ancient times
and traditionally taught since times immemorial:
'Yajnya leads to better absorption of sun's
rays by the water resources on
the planet. Yajnya helps reset the energy
cycle of the planet in natural
harmony benefiting all creation. Yajnya
injects nutrients into the
atmosphere…
'Changes in soil composition due to pollution
become drastic and the
results become disastrous. Soil becomes
unable to sustain plants and even
life. The way out is to inject nutrients
and fragrance into the atmosphere
by widespread practice of Yajnya…
'When pollution increases the level of ozone
layer decreases. Then
oxygen fixing bacteria become deplete and
nitrogen fixing bacteria
become malfunctional unless the science
of Yajnya…(is) practiced on a
wide scale.
'When radioactive particles and poisonous
gases are released from the
earth's core our only protection is Yajnya.
Clouds get seeded with toxins
due to pollution. Only way to negate this
is by proper performance of
Yajnya."
And yet again in Grace Alone we find the
following excerpts on pp 14 & 31:
"…Atmospheric purity has a striking impact
on the mind of man. Thus does
Yajnya contribute to peace and prosperity
on earth."
"The heralding of each season brings in
its wake disease and hence all such
Yajnyas should be performed in every season
with medicinal plants as the
offerings to Fire. The disease disappears
as medicinal plants are offered to
sacrificial Fire in a Yajnya."
Recorded history as bequeathed to us today
provides us only scant glimpses of the
glory of past civilizations which afforded
great value to the institution of Yajnya.
One of these references is found in Ramayana,
the biography of the Divine
Incarnation, Ramachandra, by the sage,
Valmiki (today widely regarded as
mythological). Rama ruled over the kingdom
of Kosala with its capital as Ayodhya
approximately 9,000 years ago in what is
today northern India. In the sixth
chapter of the Balakanda section of the
Ramayana, Valmiki gives us an
illuminating picture of the society of
that time (translation excerpted from the
book Valmiki Ramayana Darshan by Shastri
Shri Pandurang V. Athavale):
"And in that excellent city, men were happy
and righteous, truthful, widely
read and contented with whatever they possessed
and were not covetous.
"In that city people had plenty of good
things like food, grains, wealth, cows,
horses and other animals.
"In Ayodhya one could not find a sensuous
person, a miser, a crooked person,
an illiterate person or an atheist.
"All men and women had excellent character,
controlled senses and happy
frame of mind. They were like great sages
as far as their occupation and
conduct were concerned.
"They were neatly dressed and adorned with
ornaments, eating pure food,
giving away wealth in charity (daan) and
were self restrained."
And then in verse 12 we find the following remarkable statement:
"In Ayodhya everybody performed sacrificial fire (Yajnya) in the home."
Quoting again from Grace Alone p 11:
"The hermitages of Vedic seers, in days
immemorial, were acting as generating stations of Divine Power solely with
the object of enkindling humanity to attain perpetual bliss. In that holy
atmosphere these seers used to perform fire worship (Yajnya) continuously.
Experimentation and minute observation of results therefrom convinced
humanity about the efficacy of such worship,
whether performed individually
or collectively."
According to the Vedic cosmogony, the passage
of time is to be seen more as a
cyclic affair than as a linear model to
which we in the west subscribe. A series of
recurring cycles of eras are classified
into four types which are, broadly speaking,
analogous to our Golden Age, Silver Age,
Bronze Age and Iron Age (in Sanskrit -
Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and
Kali Yuga, respectively).
Far from this era of ours being the age
of technological excellence which we
believe it to be, Vedic cosmogony actually
identifies this era as a Kali Yuga, a Dark
Age which is characterized by the greatest
human ignorance and the lowest level
of human culture and the greatest predominance
of all the worst human qualities.
Maximum hatred (extermination of millions
in the Nazi Holocaust), intolerance
(medieval witch hunts by the Christian
Church), selfishness, greed (epitomized by
the fictional Hollywood character, Gordon
Gekko, in the movie Wall Street), lust and
unrestrained indulgence in the sense pleasures,
chiefly food and sex.
But by far the grossest of all the monumental
acts of ignorance of mankind in this
Kali Yuga has been the corruption of the
technique of Yajnya with interpolations of
offerings of flesh and blood to the fire
(animal sacrifice). In Vedas, the first
revelation of the Almighty, given at the
time of creation itself, practice of Yajnya is
enjoined upon mankind for the harmonious
operation of all the natural cycles. It is
also explicitly stated what should be the
offering made to fire. Offerings of animal
flesh and blood are categorically forbidden.
This degeneration of the practice of Yajnya
with flesh and blood offerings
accompanied as it was by the concomitant
predilection for flesh and blood in the
human diet, probably heralded the birth
of the new era of darkness. Adoption of
flesh predominant diet causes serious intoxication
of the individual human
system. However, flesh and blood offerings
in Yajnya causes massive poisoning
and pollution of the entire biosphere -
exactly the opposite of the Vedic intention
of Yajnya.
This epidemic became so serious about two
to three thousand years ago, that
several Divine Messengers graced our planet
to correct the grave human error.
These included Zarathustra, Buddha and
Jesus Christ. After the advent of these
Messengers the practice of Yajnya largely
fell into oblivion in many parts of the
world. And now it has been necessary for
the appearance of another Divine
Incarnation, marking the close of the present
Kali Yuga, to reinstate the practice of
Yajnya in its pure original form right
across the whole planet.
It is interesting to compare the prophesies
in several religious traditions relating to
the re-appearance of another Divine Incarnation,
the so-called 'Second Coming.'
The Hindu tradition predicts the advent
of a tenth and final Incarnation (Avatar in
Sanskrit) to be known as Kalki Avatar at
the end of this present Kali Yuga. (Kalka
means poison or pollution in Sanskrit).
Most Hindus, though, hold that the close of
Kali Yuga is still several hundred thousand
years away. The Buddhist prophesies
refer to the coming of the Maitreya approximately
2,500 years after the
appearance of the Buddha (approx. 500 BC).
And the Christian tradition speaks of
the Second Coming of Christ about 2,000
years after the time of Jesus. The Islamic
tradition also points to the same thing
1,400 years after the prophet, Mohammed
(approx. 600 AD).
And so this century has witnessed the incarnation
of another great Being of Light.
He is known universally as Shree. At the
age of 23 (in 1941) His mission was
revealed to Him by Divine Will. Incidentally
in this revelation the words used by
the Divine to refer to Him were 'Son of
Man.' And three years later He undertook
the most potent vow at the feet of His
Guru:
"I will resuscitate Vedas."
Because this vow was taken by a Divine Personality,
at the moment of taking the
vow the whole thing was accomplished. We
have only to wait for its manifestation
in time on the physical plane of existence.
Now as 1999 dawns Agnihotra and Shree's
message of Fivefold Path are being
practiced worldwide in dozens of countries
by a group of people probably
numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
(None can estimate the exact figure
since the teaching spreads at grass roots
level and there is no formal organization
or membership to keep track of figures).
These people are pioneers of the new
lifestyle which will characterize the New
Golden Age, an age of peace and
prosperity worldwide which will last for
several thousand years.
For many years, Satsang has reported experiences of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing submitted by Agnihotris from around the world. These reports include healing of plants, animals, and humans. However, many people who now perform Agnihotra are relatively new to the practice, and have never read these accounts. Agnihotra Healing Journal will feature such stories from past issues of Satsang.—Ed.
Plants
are Grateful for Agnihotra
Isabel Ruiz Salcedo, Jaen, Spain
I have a friend named Concha Ruiz
who is a medical doctor. She spoke to me
about Agnihotra and said that she would
get me the materials for doing it. She
sent me an Agnihotra kit with a cassette
of the Agnihotra mantras and an
explanation of how to do Agnihotra.
Little by little I dedicated myself to doing the
fires even though I had never personally
seen anyone perform them.
I started to save the Agnihotra ash. I wanted
to use the ash on some garden or
land, but I don't have either one because
I live in an apartment in the town. I spoke to a friend of mine who has
a farm. I told her that I had some Agnihotra ash that produces a special
effect, and I went to her house on a spring day. We did Agnihotra there
and many people were present - the owners of the house, their children,
grandparents, etc.
While we were inhaling the smoke from the
fire, more than one person, including the children, heard that the plants
were grateful for the Agnihotra smoke. I heard it also and it was true.
We spread the Agnihotra ashes that we had all over the garden. Later that
spring I went back to that garden one day. I didn't have the opportunity
to do Agnihotra there again, but I observed that a total change had taken
place. The bushes had grown as if a year had passed. The trees had
given much more fruit, and the
family who lived there was overwhelmed.
This happened with the experience of
doing Agnihotra only one time. We also
observed that in the other garden, in
which we didn't do anything, the trees
were all broken and nothing was growing;
at the place where the Agnihotra
ash had been placed everything was green.
Now I have been doing Agnihotra in
the same room of my apartment, and my
plants are admired by everyone who comes
here. The truth is that I water the
plants very little - one day per week -
because of the shortage of water. I play the
cassette of the Agnihotra mantras for the
plants and they like it very much.
I have noticed that the Agnihotra
fire expands horizontally and vertically; it
expands not only in my building but to
the buildings on the sides and the front.
My neighbors told me that they had been
in a very bad situation for over two
years, and now their home is a haven
of peace.
Agnihotra
Ash Healings in Colombia
Irma Segura de Vargas, Buritaca, Colombia
Buritaca is a small village between Santa
Marta and the "Sierra Nevada" (Snow
Mountains range) in northern Colombia.
Between the magnificent mountains and
the Caribbean Sea lie a few cabins for
tourists. The place is called "Cabanas de
Buritaca". Jairo Vargas and myself live
there. We usually do not travel, but one day
I had to go to Bogota for one day and that
day I learned Agnihotra.
Back home, I started to put Agnihotra ash
on an orange tree which had died
several months before, and on a very sick
mango tree which had stopped
producing mangoes due to its disease. After
a few weeks of daily practice of
Agnihotra in the house (which is near these
trees) and giving them Agnihotra ash,
little green buds started to come out of
the dead orange tree; the mango tree
rapidly got healed. Now the orange tree
is heavy with oranges which are juicy and
very sweet. The mango tree now produces
fruit all year round, and I have never
tasted more delicious mangoes.
The Cogui Indians are considered the most
knowledgeable and advanced of
Colombian indigenous tribes. They live
in the Sierra Nevada. On their way down
to the village, they stop at our cabins
and stay in our house. Since Jairo and I
started to practice Agnihotra, the Cogui
people have sought advice, support and
healing from us.
The Mamas are the healers of the Cogui
people. They are a combination of
religious and political authority, and
are the highest authority among the Cogui
people. Except for Agnihotra, I have no
education or training in healing arts, so I
was very surprised when the Mamas started
coming to me for healing.
I have so many stories of healings using
Agnihotra and Agnihotra ash. One boy
had a wound on his leg that was infested
with worms. A Mama brought the boy to
me. I cleaned the wound and applied Agnihotra
ash and ghee. By the third day,
the wound was totally healed.
In another case, a woman had a very itchy
rash all over her body. She was
desperate. For seven months she had sought
relief in different places, with
different methods, but to no avail. She
had even gone to a dermatologist in
Bogota, but nothing helped her. I applied
Agnihotra ash to her skin one time and
her rash disappeared completely.
Agnihotra - Midwife at Albert's Rebirth - Rafael Eduardo Diaz
In November, 1992 "Albert", a small tree
approximately twenty-two inches tall
came into our home. It was another ornamental
piece, but really was considered
part of the family after my daughter called
it "Albert".
I met "Albert" through a photograph that
my wife Meerta had taken while I was
away on a business trip. Meerta was giving
him love and attention while I was
away.
Albert became an important theme in our
correspondence, and when I returned
home I met him. Somehow I had the feeling
that I was interrupting a strong family
bond, and that I was also taking away a
little bit of the attention he had been
receiving. Furthermore, I decided to move
Albert to the terrace, so that he could
be surrounded by Mother Nature.
Albert continued to develop normally until
he was three years old. Suddenly he
started changing. His leaves started falling
off, and he was getting sick.
We were worried about Albert and we decided
to buy some medicines to help
him, but nothing seemed to help. That was
Albert's end. He preferred to die. I had
the feeling he was punishing us for putting
him outside of the family. This
happened in August 1994. We left him alone,
accepting his death. We planned to
remove him from the house and get rid of
him.
At the beginning of 1995 Albert still remained
in the house as a death symbol. In
February I had the opportunity to visit
my friends Marlene and Abel. There I met
Master Vasant, and it was the first time
I heard the word "Agnihotra".
I could understand that Agnihotra is related
to sunrise and sunset, and how
important the sunrise/sunset cycle is to
our lives. I could see that energies are
related to mind purification and to the
physical and ecological healing of the
atmosphere that surrounds us. Agnihotra
leads us to happiness and love. By
practicing Agnihotra daily, the Agnihotra
ash and smoke can be beneficial and
healing, not only for human beings, but
for plants and the environment in general.
I was so delighted with Vasant's message
that I asked him immediately how I
could get the necessary materials in order
to practice Agnihotra.
At the beginning of March I met Jose who
taught me how to practice Agnihotra.
The very same day I ordered some Agnihotra
materials so we could start
practicing Agnihotra ourselves.
After practicing Agnihotra for a week I
realized that Albert was still out on the
terrace. I decided to talk to him. I told
him (with the hope that he could listen to
me) that this knowledge was given to me
by someone very special, full of Light,
and that I wanted to practice it with him.
I asked him to forgive me for having forgotten
him during the past months, but
that from now on I was going to take care
of him. I told him that the Agnihotra
pyramid, fire and smoke were going to help
him wake up from that sleepy stage
from which he had decided not to come out.
From that day on, I started feeding
Agnihotra ash to Albert, reminding him
that he was going to get better. I decided
to make a photograph of him, convinced
that he was going to change. Some days
later I was so happy to see Albert reviving
that I started calling all those friends
who had told me to throw Albert out, and
told them about Albert's rebirth.
Today, after twenty five days, Albert is
doing fine. He is fully alive, full of green,
shiny leaves. My friends and I have realized
how powerful Agnihotra can be, and
we thank Vasant for teaching us this technique.
We continue practicing Agnihotra not only because we saw Albert's rebirth,
but because we realize how important it can be for the whole universe.
Albert, a very simple, small tree, has given
me and my friends a great message,
showing us that there is always hope, and
that there are no obstacles to changing
any situation, no matter how difficult,
if we have hope. We can change our lives in
all aspects. We should always love and
respect Mother Nature because we need
her in order to live.
Thanks to Master Vasant Paranjpe for his
knowledge; we will always be thankful
for Agnihotra.
All these incidents which have been
happening — accident, losing things — are all due to the lack of attention,
carelessness. It is not mere carelessness. You need to focus your energy
in the moment. MANTRA is the tool for that. Do not focus on the result
of the accident — broken glass, etc. Focus more on what it teaches
you. You have to become superconscious but first become conscious
at all times. You need not be silent. It is all the time being attentive
to what is around you and to what you are doing in the
moment. If the mind is always engaged in
thought — be it reverie, worry, planning further events, calculating sums
or analyzing, it is likely one will stumble in everyday life. Especially
now one must be attentive — not fearful, just attentive. If you are carrying
a bag be sure it is with you at all times.
In the beginning you have to keep your attention focused mentally but later it becomes automatic. Mantra all the time keeps the wayward mind on a single track. Then these incidents, from minor forgetfulness to ‘accidents’, will not happen in all likelihood. It is not Karma per se as we think of it. It is due to carelessness brought on by lack of concentration. It can be remedied by so little effort. Mantra. And it is also high time to address one's reliance, dependence upon tea and coffee. That also tends to break one's concentration. It is a great lesson for you.
