Dear Divine Ma,

What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?

I need to learn to re-emphasize my sadhana again. Here an entire year has gone by in lockdown, and I used so little of it for my own personal sadhana. Yes, I’ve kept swimming and walking. But have I kept being open inwardly? 

“It’s true that during this year you’ve had a heart oblation, had your mother die, and replaced your left hip. Those have, admittedly, been distractions. But the question remains: What have you done to love God? You led meditations, but you did those for others as much as you did them for Him. What have you done for your spirit? Your efforts on God’s behalf have been paltry during the pandemic. You’ve got to keep showing that you still care.”
