Guest guest Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 NAMASTE; Swami had a question and answer session Wednesday evening. It was great. So much practical knowledge and wisdom. One particular thought was very powerful for me: sometimes we really don't feel like performing our daily worship, so what to do? especially when I do not feel like I am making any progress and the monkey mind just goes on and on. Swami indicated that we should keep to our sankalpa, our daily commitment to worship, no matter what. then, while we worship, we control the things we can control-keep our knees on the floor and our tongues performing the mantras. We can't control our minds, but we can control our bodies. Mother controls our minds, so we just surrender our mind to Her, and control our body. By maintaining our sankalpa, no matter what, we will notice growth in our daily lives: in our ability to focus better, and keep to our commitments, and have more will power and support from Mother. So, even when we don't feel like keeping our sankalpa, still, do the best we can and Mother will take care and bless us. Never give up and never give into the monkey mind.
