Practical Philosophy

Meditation in the City
Pati has noticed a custom in India that could have saved him much physical agony over the years. Many times, Pati found himself stuck in traffic on the beltway in anguish because he needed to go to the restroom. That does not happen here! It seems hard to travel as much as a mile without seeing someone facing a wall or a dumpster in a state of nirvana, seeking relief from the physical pain brought on by the constraints of the Western mind. For example, the tuk-tuk driver behind the car Pati and Beebee were riding in today jumped from his vehicle at a stop light and meditated on the nearest wall, returning to his vehicle before the light turned. This also answers a question that Pati had about why he was walking through so many mud puddles on days without rain.
