INDIA-day 10...

Zero Point was a pretty amazing place. It was fun to meet Babaji-he is such an energizing guy. He welcomed us into his house that also serves as a temple, fed us, and visited with us. It was beautiful there-really overcast, but we managed to sneak a few amazing views. The only downside to the place was that there was POOP everywhere-ALL kinds of varieties-sheep, goats, rams and horses. I had it on my boots, on my pants and even a tiny bit inside the tent. Babaji let us "use the bathroom" anywhere downwind from his house, and there was a rock hole in the ground with a half-circle wall and no overhead covering for more "serious business" if you know what I mean!

JOURNAL ENTRY: "Last night we watched Babaji do his ritualistic ceremony. It was very interesting. I noticed a few things last night: 1. Everything Babaji said was pretty generalized and could apply to just about anyone. 2. I didn't feel the Spirit ONCE. 3. I kept thinking about the BOM's teachings-don't worship idols, avoid vain repetitions, etc. HOWEVER, I have to say that I really admire Babaji. He doesn't have all of the truth, but has devoted his life to serving God 100%-something I can't say I always do. He has been living here for 19 years and is only 37 years old. I'm pretty sure I would go insane." Babaji was such a kind, loveable man. One I'm sure has a place reserved for him in Heaven. He was pretty amazing.

JOURNAL ENTRY: "I hiked up to Zero Point with Diwan, JM, JK, Ginny & Robert this morning. It was beautiful, warm and sunny. They hiked ahead and I stayed back to think and to pray. Only 5 more nights in India! I can hardly wait to go home and hug my family. I am so blessed and sincerely grateful for Heavenly Father's love for me."
