Dear Divine Ma,
What do You want me to learn today?
This was the place where even Jesus doubted. Jesus questioned what his Lord wanted from Him. He asked, “Lord, let this cup pass from me.” But sometimes the Lord has big tapasya’s for his devotees to endure—no, not endure—rather accomplish with willing surrender.
“You think you deserve a trouble free life? But did Jesus have that? Or Swami? Or Padre Pio? ‘An easy life is not a victorious life,’ Master told us. We have to be willing to ‘pick up your cross and carry it.’ Without a bit of tapasya, no one lived a truly great life. Be willing to go through trials for God’s joy. And do it willingly. That’s the attitude what results in a joy that lasts.”
