meditation with the Brahma Kumaris

Not many other early risers driving round London but there were red traffic lights all the way to Global House, the hub of benevolent activity which is the World Spiritual University of the Brahma Kumaris.  The Dalai Lama would have laughed as I negotiated my way over bumps at some speed which curiously are called traffic calming  only to be stopped over and over again! That was the first lesson.   I parked opposite the centre and ran in, up the stairs, shoes off to join in their morning meditation.  Time then, about 4.25 am, a bit later than I had hoped but it was those traffic lights.  It is an amazing thing to join and to realise that all over London, all over the world, as dawn breaks, there are people meditating. It is tangibly benevolent, tangibly steady, tangibly kindly, tangibly still and you can feel it.  Somewhere near you, there will be someone meditating, a lot of them will be wearing white and are worth getting to know.
