Do What You Were Taught

Dear Divine Ma,

What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?

It’s so good to be exercised. A bit of hatha, a swim, energization—all in the same day. It does help one to feel fully alive!

“You used to feel that you had more energy than other people— some might have said almost too much. But now at this stage of life you need all the help you can get. See how your meditation feels after all this effort to get your energy moving?”

It could well make a difference.

“Be aware and pay attention. See what the cause and effect is of some of your guru’s principal teachings. There might well be a discernable reason why he taught what he did . . . Conduct the experiment! See for yourself what is true. Don’t merely take it on faith. But if it turns out to be true, then it behooves you to do what he taught, rather than following your mere opinions and desires. True?”
