WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN TORTUOUS



Chanting Hare Krishna
Most of the morning
Feeling very blissful.

Time to call customer service 
About a billing error
Immediately the material atmosphere
Flooding in.
Krishna? Krishna who? Krishna what?
Their company music playing on hold
tinny and static...

The customer service rep all day 
one complaint and dissatisfaction
after another.
Trying to make people happy
By resolving a material problem
With a material solution.

Googling Hare Krishna kirtan
clicking on the 
London Hare Krishna Album
There was Krishna like fresh air
The exhilarating Deity greeting
Govindam Adi Purusam.

The customer rep 
Could hear the chanting.
The Hare Krishna Sankirtan movement.
What could have been tortuous 
Billing errors, numbers, dollars 
When, where and how much.
Became an ecstatic exchange.
Two souls caught in the material energy 
doing the needful to deal with it 
and Krishna was there. 

Completely purified by the Holy Name.
