Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
It’s been a lovely Thanksgiving week. And I am thankful for many things. I am truly grateful for a community of people around me who continually remind me to put God first—to live in God—to live in gratitude. Even to live in wonder about all that God has provided for our benefit, education, beauty, and joy. All that is, is because of God’s beneficence. He is the original giver. He is the Doer! If only I could remember that more minutes out of every week, even every day. If I could only remember to be grateful in as many moments as possible—until it was every minute—that God was the Doer, that there never has been anything but God, and that God is in everything. That would be nirbikalpa samadhi, even final liberation. Imagine, that’s all it takes. A simple realization that God is. And that there’s nothing but God everywhere!
