Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
“Focusing on those things that will take you toward God is the only thing that needs your attention. Everything other than that is a distraction—maya. There is no direction except Godward that is worth pursuing. Any action that takes us in any direction OTHER than Godward harms our search for the only goal that matters. So many destinations in our days’ activities have NOTHING to do with the true destination we all seek.”
Why do we get sidetracked? We SAY we want God, but in actuality we want so many other things before we want God. What is it that drives us away from our true goal? Desire, Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gits, is always the culprit that knocks us askew!
