520			_aLife is a constant arrival and departure, whether the journey is from one room to another or from continent to continent." writes Ambassador Apa Pant, now in Rome. Even as one sits still to think about it, the journey continues. Hardly for a moment is there real stillness and silence on this plane of existence, real awareness of the Eternal Now. So it must often seem in the weariness of arrival and departure. Before one has arrived-at a party, or for a weekend, or on transfer the mind is already on the process of departure." He himself has had some fantastic journeys in the past fifty years: to Tibet and Spitzbergen, in Africa and Indonesia, among the world' 's highest mountains and to its greatest capitals. Departures when he did not really want to arrive, and departures when the arrival was uncertain. This is his story of a journey which enabled me to discover, learn and understand the significance and beauty, the grandeur and vitality, the harmony of life."
