610--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- Toxic environments and sadhana

[Guest guest]

Question from Stacee: (Original sent to Swamiji, summarized version

posted here)

Most of us are sensitive to energy with all the spiritual work that we

are doing and can easily be overwhelmed with the surrounding karmas and

our own, this can be felt as sickness and even become physical sickness?

Isn't this where intense sadhana can help and the awareness of focusing

on the Light and on God can help one burn off the pain of this world?

Thank you for your time.

 

Swamiji's response:

When you plant a new sapling, you must build a fence around it, so the

goats and cows won't step on or eat it. When it sinks its roots deep and

grows into a strong tree, you can tie your elephant to it without a

second thought.

 

Sadhana is your protection.
