Have tool, will practice !

[Guest guest]

My Pranams to Shree Maa and Swamiji.

 

It is my humble opinion that God will help us when we are truly

ignorant . When he sees us stumbling, he sends us help - Gurus and

upagurus. The Guru gives us a taste of what bliss will be like and

show us the way through the teachings.

 

It is upto us to take the tools/teachings and put them in practice. It is

in OUR best interests to do the practice with all the shraddha that

we are capable of , and to do the best we can . If we say that we

can practice only for a few minutes that is fine. But once we set

our goals, based on our understanding of the sadhana, and we fall

short, the best is to accept our temporary limitation and fuel it to

go forward with even more determination.

 

God makes us aware of our limitations and also gives us the strength

when we rely on him to overcome those limitations. We know all that

we stand to gain by increasing our sadhana, it is upto us to keep

going forward with full force.
