Dear Divine Ma, 

What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?

“It’s about staying power. About consistency. You need to show up regularly, for long enough to make sure your time in sadhana has a proper chance to touch the Divine Presence. If you don’t show up regularly every day—or stay long enough to make contact, 45-minute minimum—how do you expect to get the Divine to be in contact with you? God watches the heart. If you can’t demonstrate that you really want Her, why would She bother showing up Herself. It takes loyalty to win a true friend. What makes you think it takes anything less to win God’s love? It’s true that God’s love is always present—but He wants to see if there is reciprocation before He’ll show Himself. As your guru used to say, ‘God is a bit shy.’ He wants to be sure that you really do want Him.”
