We crawled through the Athenian traffic, approaching the centre of Athens, finally reaching gridlocked Syntagma Square, when we were approximately three hundred metres away from Sri Swamiji’s hotel.
Sri Swamiji suddenly flung the door wide open and flew on to the road, darting and weaving through the traffic with the delicate footsteps of a fox and the profile of a panther, all the while his head tilted back towards us offering a beautiful smile of innocence, purity and playfulness, leaving us all dumbstruck.
Again, playing with the projection of our rigidly inflexible presumptions, rules and procedures. He offered the beauty and spark of the unexpected, the uncommon, the unforeseen, which mysteriously was also always the most practical solution!
