Today marks the beginning of my journey to Tibet, Kailash and Mansarovar. These are seen as deeply spiritual places - as any mountain or ocean is.
My goals are
1) to be inward, as inward as possible, and minimize longing for the gratification of my senses.
2) to speak as little as is needed
3) to not respond to criticism, corrections or taunts, if there may be any.
For an analogy from a Buddhist book: I want my mind to be as calm as an ocean in which, even when a rock is thrown, there are no ripples.
I will write everything in my diary as I walk up Mt. Kailash and on towards Tibet and reach almost 6000 meters (I may be mistaken here).
Until I write again, Hope you all keep safe.
