To Morningsong: Namaste Family

[Guest guest]

Namaste Morningsong and family: This is a great message. I have the

same experience. This message underscores the need to develop

discipline in order to succeed in any venture in life, let alone the

pursuit of the Divine.

I am certain that without discipline, we would not have completed our

higher education, or advanced in our career, etc.

 

Thanks for sharing such wisdom.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami
