Swami's Story- How to Succeed

[Guest guest]

Namaste

In Gita study Friday night, Swami was asked how a devotee can make it

through a tough situation. He told a personal story. Instead of 50

pound bags, 80 pound bags of cement were delivered to a site where

Swami and several other devotees were creating a foundation for a

project for Mother.

They had to carry them up the mountain. Rather than moan that the

task was too hard, and say, "woa is me", Swami chanted Mother's name

with each step and thought how blessed he was to be able to serve

Mother in this way.

Succeeding in a task depends on the attitude that we take, and

chanting the name of God. He said we should always think of the

"priviledge of service", rather than the pain of the task. And, we

should always chant the name of God, every chance we get. Until, it

goes on by itself forever.

Mother gives us many situations in which to demonstrate our devotion.

It is up to us to choose how we will face it.

Now we know what to do.

 

Jai Maa Jaii Swami
