Siddharth,
It’s so good to know about your work in Pakistan. And that too in the remote northern parts. The fact that people use what you have to offer speak a lot about both you and the people there. And to top this all is your discovery of the local medicine – Murqba “Noor” Meditation. What a great service! Your trainees may be more urban based people. And you are giving them an instrument-medium to make a contact with their own people. And we all know that there is nothing bigger than being in touch with your own people. And hence your own self! You and I as clinicians spend, sometimes months after months, to help our patients to be in touch with self – the core. And you do this in days through preventive medicine! And in a way that makes sense to all of us and more to the local people.
I wish you and your colleagues well. And wish you strength to reach out to local people and be a vital link between local and global.
Love from Chaitanya and me,
Sumant
