Vasudeva's Hut

When I made my decision to stay near the river, I met the ferryman, Vasudeva. He remembered me as a Samana that had once slept in his hut, a long time ago. He invited me once again into his house. I told him the whole story of my life after I left him. I told him that even though I look like a merchant, I still want to live with him by the river. Vasudeva understood me and let me stay. Vasudeva taught me everytning about being a ferryman. He told me that the river has many secrets and lessons to teach me and he told me that he will help me. Vasudeva understood me and he knew a lot about life. I thought that it was something that came to him from life experience and I asked him if he too learned all the secret from the river and he answered yes. I then felt as if the river was the answer for all of my questions. I learned from the river that time does not exist. What I discovered made me realize that suffering, self-torment, anxieties and dificulties are all anchored in time and will disapear when people overcome the idea of time. One day Vasudeva and I were working as usual and all of the sudden Vasudeva hears a child cry for help for his mother. When he carried the woman into the hut, I recognized her. It was Kamala. When I looked at her son he looked very familiar to me. I then realize that the boy is my son. When Kamala came back to her self she had just enough time and energy to tell me that the boy really was my son. I felt extremely blessed.
