Dear Divine Ma,

What Do You Want Me to Learn Today? 

“You are back on your beloved coastline. That is good for you. You should make a point to sit by the ocean at least once each week as your friend Chidambar has done for years. Your head is clearer at the ocean’s edge. The sound of Om is all around there. The universe comes in with every wave, and recedes again, over and over and over again. Some waves make a lot of commotion, but the ocean underneath never changes. That is the way of life. Ripples on the surface, but underneath God never changes. Be at peace with what is. Neither worry nor ambition can actually change anything of importance. Karma and grace are all there is. To try to manipulate the things of this world is fruitless. God IS the Doer. You can do little more than move the fingerpaint around on the paper. The larger picture of life is ever run by powers greater than your own desires and ambitions. Be at peace.”
