Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
“It’s always about opening your heart, just like a chant playing now—Door of My Heart—reminds us. If you can’t hold onto the thought of God, Christ, or Guru, with every minute of our lives, then you still have far to go in your battle of consciousness. It IS a battle, you know. How often, how much, can you repel the slings and arrows from distracting you? Those slings and arrows of life come in so many forms and levels of subtlety. That’s why they call them maya—they slink up close when you least expect it and get a close-in shot, hoping to pull your attention away from the only goal you need focus on—the Lord our God within you. ‘Night and day, I look for Thee night and day.’ Without that one-pointed focus, people are lost in the jungle of maya. ‘Door of my heart, open wide I keep for Thee!’ ”
