Abandoned roads - Jos Lammers

But a good follower kept far from material things and
other illusions that could drive him off the path to enlightenment.
For that same reason I had seen next to nothing
of the United States in the year and a half that I lived
in Denver and worked at the IHQ. And what I did see,
I experienced with a face turned away, so to speak. An
attitude that had unexpected results, by the way. While
before that, floating around the Vondelpark, I had no idea
how I’d ever connect with the world of offices, jobs and
making money, and didn’t really want to either. But as it
turned out, with my face turned away, I could do almost
anything in that exact same world. In the more than
three years before I got the phone call to come to Denver,
I established junk collecting services in four Dutch cities,
along with sorting businesses, wholesale to processors of
rags and used metals and retailing the usable stuff in our
own shops. Where in the previous, normal life I found
my job as a nurse’s aid utterly overpaid, as a follower of
Maharaj ji I generated cash flow that supported the divine
play of the guru in such a way that his ‘international
president’ called me to his IHQ.
