Renouncing the high tech
I’ve been thinking of getting rid of my laptop for a while already - actually ever since I was in Kolkata. In there my camera broke due to the rain so I lost one of the main motivations to have the laptop - storing and editing photos and videos. A couple of times on this trip I’ve also ended up wasting my time on nonsense (games, mostly) with the laptop. So, finally, I decided to get rid of the whole thing as I felt I’d be better off without it and I sure could use the money I’d get from selling it. The Lord was also supportive of my desire to renounce the computer, as it was very easy to find several buyer candidates for the laptop. I ended up selling it to a brahmacari from eastern Europe, who needed a computer for some translation work he was doing. It was a great arrangement of the Lord - I’m sure he could use a good deal for an inexpensive laptop and what used to be an obstacle to my bhakti became a tool for his.
