There is no doubt that one can find many disturbing things in India that can leave one in shock and dismay, but hopefully also with compassion.
India has many lessons to teach the traveler not used to such sights and ways. And as with many places in the world, there is another deeper layer below this “filth.” I have learned many lessons from a few times in India starting with, surrender. Things don’t look and work the way we Westerners expect or think they should. Surrender (in the most life-affirming way).
If you are a Yogi, then you also know India is the home of some of the oldest and most profound wisdom ever explored and understood by human consciousness.
Beneath a chunk of dirty carbon lies the diamond. I hope you also discovered that in India. 🙏
