Gadavarda means "to throw oneself headlong," to dive right into the life-stream


Not much to say but the following.....

"…..I am now pushing fifty and realize more and more that every extra day is just a free gift and so I relax and forget about the past and the future. The “I” that goes from day to day is not an important “I” is in an eternal present. If a door should one day open from one realm to the other, then “I” (whoever that is) will be glad of it. I have no regrets except for sins that are forgiven in any case, and I forget the past, and don’t get to excited about the present or the future….."
