Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Dear vish ~ this struck a deep chord in me. Several times in my life, including recently, I have felt bereft of all connection to the Divine. Since this connection throughout my life has been everything to me, not having it is like a horrible punishment (although I realize, of course, that is not what it is). Almost invariably, when the connection is re-established, I have said to myself, "Linda, God did not turn away from you, you closed your heart and God could not enter". It brings tears to my eyes that something that should be so easy (keeping an open heart) is sometimes so hard, and also to have this stated directly by Maa. Lately, when computer me has won over sadhana me, I even have discussions with myself about it. Well, computer me "says," I don't have to do it right now; I have the whole day." That's usually enough for me to turn away, but lately when computer me says that, sadhana me says, "Oh, come on; you know if you don't do it now it will not be done." And even when I feel like sadhana me is dragging compter me by the hair to go sit at my altar, when sadhana me wins the day I always have such a good, peaceful feeling for the whole day. But you see, even when something feels good and is good for me, good ole Ego gets in there and tries to put a wedge between me and my practice. Gratefully, today, sadhana me won.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Dearest sister, Please be more gentle with yourself... When the computer you takes over, broaden your sadhana by asking, " Mother! What precious gems are you giving your daughter today? What new friends and divine wisdom are you sweetly bringing my way? " I imagine your computer is your lifeline to joy. Cherish it as a gift. It's all devotion to God if you look at it that way. The connection is as alive as you keep it. peace, sal. , nierika wrote: > > Dear vish ~ this struck a deep chord in me.
