ALEX and all: karma

[Guest guest]

Namaste: Everyone of us experiences the same issue to some degree or

another. As Swami say:, " We all will fall, it is the process of

getting up and beginning again that is important. "

I agree with Shankari Kali that making a commitment to perform a

manageable amount of sadhana daily is a key to success. The very

process of taking the sankalpa, making that firm commitment, is very

important and helpful. It gives one the strength to perform the

sadhana regardless of one's feelings and moods. One just does it, no

matter what.

What sadhana do you like to do? What Deity inspires your love and

devotion, and therefore, you can make that commitment for daily praise

and worship?

For me, worship is the expression of my love and devotion to Shiva.

It is not just automatically repeating a mantra or puja. Sure there

are times when I feel uninspired, but, each time I overcome that

feeling, and just do the worship, complete my vow, I feel stronger and

more connected to Shiva.

As Swami says, " performing the worship when you do not feel like it,

that is when you achieve the most benefit. It is easy to do it when

you feel good. "

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
