Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
“It is your dedication that needs improving. Yes, you show up. But are you truly dedicated to the effort? It’s not enough merely to participate if your heart is not really in it. Do you really want the rewards of a deep sadhana? Sometimes, it seems that you show up only for the bragging points. No ribbons are given out in this “competition” for merely showing up. If you aren’t here for results in your soul, then why attend at all? Each day, each minute ought to count for but one reason—because you truly want God. Do you? Do you really want God? That’s the only goal worth the effort. He is the aim. He is the magnet worth attaining. His is the presence that makes every other present worth it. Why would you want anything else? He is the goal worth having, the pearl of great price. Be present for the right reasons, and live!”
Thank you for this reminder!!
Seems to be a message that many of us find useful and necessary. My own meditations had a lot more oomph in them for weeks after this guidance came through. Thank God we have a living teaching that reminds us to put out the energy it takes to follow our guru to the results He promised us.
Thanks Biraj,
Seems just what I needed to hear today.
This will inspire me to go deeper … and deeper.
AUM, Shanti
You deserve to go deeper and deeper with all the decades of sadhana and service you have put in. This time of tapasya WILL pass, and then look what strength you will have added to your spiritual being. Wasn’t it your own sermon recently that said no great saint ever got there without great tapasya along the way …
