The Shift happened on September 2, 2010 at 9:30 in the night.
I was on a train from Delhi to Indore to attend a cousin's wedding. I bought a book called "The new earth" by Eckhart Tolle. The book was "pinging on my radar" a lot. Mention by friends, Google ads, in blogs, in websites.
Traveling in train is a pain. I can't sit idle. I'm restless and young. I need to "do something". I need space for movement. I need to be Free. At least airlines has pretty young things asking you if you need something and with travel times not more than a couple of hours. Trains travels are long, with strangers for friends, who use formality as an tool to keep their luggage on your toes and their babies in your lap.
I needed something to DO.
I could read a book. I thought. Hey.. wait a minute. How about that Eckhart Tolle Book? Oh yeah.. let's get that one.
Thoughts thoughts thoughts.
Sometimes they do you wonders.
The book opened my life.
For the first time, I saw my ego, my pain, my life, my thoughts and above all.
I found myself.
