Linda: Living in Bharat

[Guest guest]

Namaste Linda: what a great post. Slipping in and out of Bharat is a

common experience for me too. Each time we remember we are " out " , we

adjust our thoughts, tune into Maa / Swami, and go forward.

Another powerful tool, is this satsunga. It is another way to focus

my life on the highest purpose, as opposed to something less than pure

and holy.

Thanks for being here, along with our entire family, supporting,

coaching, and helping me remember.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami
