✨ To meditate on today
According to Tukaram, the poet-saint of Maharashtra, God — here Gopala, the child Krishna — shares His own food with His devotees: in India, the "leavings" of the offering made to God (prasad) are distributed as a blessing, a sign that there is no longer any separation between Him and us. Today, at your meal, take a moment to receive your food as a gift that unites you with Him and with others.
