Did
I
mention
that
it
has
182
verses
?
So
a
few
days
ago
,
after
a
particularly
yucky
session
of
chanting
,
I
decided
to
seek
advice
from
my
favorite
teacher
around
here
-
a
monk
with
a
wonderfully
long
Sanskrit
name
which
translates
as
"
He
Who
Dwells
in
the
Heart
of
the
Lord
Who
Dwells
Within
His
Own
Heart
.
"
This
monk
is
American
,
in
his
sixties
,
smart
and
educated
.
He
used
to
be
a
classical
theater
professor
at
NYU
,
and
he
still
carries
himself
with
a
rather
venerable
dignity
.
He
took
his
monastic
vows
almost
thirty
years
ago
.
I
like
him
because
he
’
s
no
-
nonsense
and
funny
.
In
a
dark
moment
of
confusion
about
David
,
I
’
d
once
confided
my
heartache
to
this
monk
.
He
listened
respectfully
,
offered
up
the
most
compassionate
advice
he
could
find
,
and
then
said
,
"
And
now
I
’
m
kissing
my
robes
.
"
He
lifted
a
corner
of
his
saffron
robes
and
gave
a
loud
smack
.
Thinking
this
was
probably
some
super
-
arcane
religious
custom
,
I
asked
what
he
was
doing
.
He
said
,
"
Same
thing
I
always
do
whenever
anyone
comes
to
me
for
relationship
advice
.
I
’
m
just
thanking
God
I
’
m
a
monk
and
I
don
’
t
have
to
deal
with
this
stuff
anymore
.

So
I
knew
I
could
trust
him
to
let
me
speak
frankly
about
my
problems
with
the
Gurugita
.
We
went
for
a
walk
in
the
gardens
together
one
night
after
dinner
,
and
I
told
him
how
much
I
disliked
the
thing
and
asked
if
he
could
please
excuse
me
from
having
to
sing
it
anymore
.
He
immediately
started
laughing
.
He
said
,
"
You
don
’
t
have
to
sing
it
if
you
don
’
t
want
to
.
Nobody
around
here
is
ever
going
to
make
you
do
anything
you
don
’
t
want
to
do
.
"
"
But
people
say
it
’
s
a
vital
spiritual
practice
.
"
"
It
is
.
But
I
’
m
not
going
to
tell
you
that
you
’
re
going
to
go
to
hell
if
you
don
’
t
do
it
.
The
only
thing
I
’
ll
tell
you
is
that
your
Guru
has
been
very
clear
about
this
-
the
Gurugita
is
the
one
essential
text
of
this
Yoga
,
and
maybe
the
most
important
practice
you
can
do
,
next
to
meditation
.
If
you
’
re
staying
at
the
Ashram
,
she
expects
you
to
get
up
for
the
chant
every
morning
.
"
"
It
’
s
not
that
I
mind
getting
up
early
in
the
morning
…

"
What
is
it
,
then
?
"
I
explained
to
the
monk
why
I
had
come
to
dread
the
Gurugita
,
how
tortuous
it
feels
.
He
said
,
"
Wow
-
look
at
you
.
