Dear Divine Ma, What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
“Well, you’re going to be freer to do what you want in retirement. But will ‘what you want’ still be spiritually dharmic and growth producing? Or will it be procrastination and hedonism? Just because you have more time doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to use it well. Discipline is still required to make spiritual progress in this lifetime. Do you have the will to keep progressing even when there is less structure to your time and life? Too much free time can just make you lazy if you don’t find ways to focus your time and energy. Don’t kid yourself. Retirement can be a trap, rather than a free ride!”
