Brother Eric thanks so much Gurunath has such a heavy accent that, just like some of  Amma’s monastics, it is difficult to make out what he is saying word for word. I will listen again. Having lived in California for much of my life and being born there, I’ve been exposed to the tectonic plate movements as well as San Andreas Fault many many times and have heard many similar versions and visions of what is overdue to happen there. I find it also somewhat interesting that I have been mysteriously ‘pulled out’ of the the area I so much love living in. So once again this video gives me pause for reflection at how our lives are often changed dramatically when it is not time yet for us to go and we have further ‘business’ to complete here on the earth plain. I must say with complete assurance this has been true in my life more than once. So even when seemingly bad things or loses take place in our lives, it is only by ignorance that we get discouraged or lose hope. Because often what seems to be bad can turn out good and unfortunately windfalls and so called good things can turn out bad. Such are the paradoxes that we are more acutely aware of while on our spiritual journeys.
