I had a lovely companion during my vacation in the queenly Himalayan hill station. Her beauty struck a deep response in my heart for, it was highlighted by a mystery, a certain something which seemed to reside veiled within her.
She was there for me whenever I needed her. I just had to open the window of my room and look out and there she was, mirroring the sun-lit sky or glistening under the moon.
………………. She is fondly called the Lake of the Goddess.
“If the surface of a lake is lashed into waves, the water becomes muddy and the bottom cannot be seen. The lake represents the mind and the bottom of the lake the Atman.”
