Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
You’re pretty rough on me sometimes, Ma. So many of the pages of this journal seem to contain criticisms of my life. I don’t feel self-critical most of the hours of my life until I sit down and begin to write into these pages. My own self-image is of a normal guy trying to live life oriented more toward God and God-reminding activities than I would have if I hadn’t had the practices and affirmation of the yoga science in my life. But no, I am still largely a creature of my human-animal origins. I do wish that I could lift myself above those origins, but they are deeply ingrained in my being.
“Yes, but are those things who you really are? No, you’re right about where you began this life. But in reality, you are not animal—in your deeper essence you are pure Spirit. You have merely forgotten your deeper Divine origins. God is your Father; God is your Mother. There is only divinity at your core. All these pages are merely meant to remind you over and over of the fact of your true parentage. You are Spirit. Always have been!”
