Quote of the Week
"Creatures follow their own nature, even the enlightened man act according to his own nature. What can restraint accomplish? "
Bhagavad-Gita 3.33
Commentary: Each and every aspect of creation is driven to activity by the forces of Nature. Creatures act according to their own nature for that is their role in Life. The particular actions available to each creature is limited but designed to efficiently accomplish its unique unique goal. There is a small measure of deviation each is allowed according to its role; a dog for instance can bark and run, but it cannot climb a tree or speak English, for that is not a skill it needs to accomplish its purpose, and no effort or restraint will accomplish that. We Spirits playing the role of human beings can thus have a more fulfilling physical experience if we too can humbly recognize, appreciate, and operate within the limits of our role in this physical experience. Each role is necessary and all are valuable, like the pieces of a puzzle, for our eventual appreciation of Creation's perfection.

The Fisher King movie tells the story of a radio shock jock (radio host or DJ who uses controversy to entertain their audience) that is helping a man whose life he inadvertently shattered. It explores the intermingling of New York city's usually strictly separated social strata, and has been described as "a modern-day quest for the Holy Grail" thus it fuses a New York romantic comedy with the timeless legend of the Fisher King.
The Fisher King is a central figure the Arthurian legend that first appeared in Chrétien de Troyes' 12th-century poem Perceval, the Story of the Grail. Perceval is the guardian of the Holy Grail, a sacred vessel associated with the Last Supper and believed to hold miraculous healing powers. The King in the legend is typically wounded, which renders him unable to fulfill his duties as a ruler. This wound is symbolic of both his personal suffering and the spiritual and physical desolation of his kingdom, which becomes a barren wasteland where nothing grows due to his affliction. Fortunately, Perceval is the cure he needs.
Hope to see you there! ☺
