yes - heartfelt, simple and true. as i recall - was he not connected with Gandhi somehow?Hi - if we want to know what it is to be a pilgrim, or why we do it, or how to do it - all those questions that are asked ..
.. this man, this Good man, has the best explanation I have yet seen ...

Thank you !!Very much part of the social and spiritual movement inspired by Gandhi, though a later generation. Satish Kumar was a disciple of Vinoba Bhave who had been a close friend and associate of Gandhi and became his successor in leading some of Gandhi's projects such as the ashram at Wardha. It was Bhave acting as his guru who advised him to maintain his Jain principles during his long peace walk to Europe. Partly as a source of internal strength and discipline, partly as an act of witness to others. Kumar's autobiography Path Without Destination tells the story of the long walk. Well worth reading.

@Anemone del Camino @Kanga There is an Irish priest-poet-philosopher-mystic, John O'Donohue, who died far too young a few years ago. There was a posthumous book of talks and interviews by him, last year, called Walking on the Pastures of Wonder, (which is what children of whatever age do). He talks beautifully of walking on the earth. I haven't got the book with me (here tonight in San Martin Pinario in SdC!) so I'm paraphrasing but he talks about the clay which is me communicating with the clay which is the earth. They recognize each other. It's a great book.So I guees that after all this talk about "it's my Camino" walking really is key. Jean-Christophe Ruffin talks about the importance of each step, connecting to the earth.
I hope you enjoy reading it. It is several years since I read it myself but I found it a fascinating account of a large part of a life which is fortunately still such an inspiring "work in progress" .Bradypus, I now have a copy of this book, thanks to my favourite used book store here in Victoria, BC.
