Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
“It’s all about selfishness.”
If we are self-involved, others will notice, and shy away from us.
“You’ve been experiencing that about others lately—that you shy away naturally from those who are too self-involved. They only talk about themselves, calling attention in every story to them and their achievements—like no one will admire them unless they blow their own horn. But you know from your own experience that that assumption is the exact opposite of the truth. Those who trumpet their own causes are the ones from whom we shy away. Listen, and learn: Don’t let your consciousness become so self-satisfied that you lose interest in that others are alone and feeling. Only by truly being interested in others, in their worries and concerns as well as in their accomplishments, can you hope to magnetize their interest in you. Be a sharer of joy, not a spreader of selfishness!”
