Why do bad things happen to some practitioners?

Chris,

 

That is a VERY good question.

 

The only answer I can think of is an appeal to Her.

 

I dont know if what I am doing is right or wrong or pleases You.

I dont know if I have the devotion or not.

I dont know if my motivations for doing the sadhana are pure

But YOU are the mother, and whatever happens is what you decide is

the Prasad for my Sadhana.

Praticioners still make mistakes while starting out. Later they tend

to become more savvy. With less errors, less misfortune finds its way

to them. I got caught in a huge market downturn and burned with

countless milllions of other investors. Since then my best investment

of effort seems to be in daily pujas which over the course of time

have become my greatest treasure. Practices bring solace. With it

wounds can heal. It is my best medicine.
