Q&A with Swamiji .....124...Divinity 100% of the time

[Guest guest]

Question from Steve:

This question is on inviting the Divine into 100% of one's

life.

 

If the devotee has a large percentage of time in activities related

to survival [work] in an environment that is not oriented to

worship ... what is the most important thing to do?

 

Do we focus on, giving more than we receive, within that context ...

or, do we plan on how to better arrange our lives, strategize a life

with more time for God? If we do both, how do we proceed, how do we

best please the Goddess?

 

Swamiji's response :

 

While being efficient in our present endeavors, so we don't have to

repeat them again, we should be organizing and planning so we can

minimize or eliminate those activities that we feel are divergent

from our spiritual aspirations. A clear list of goals will be very

helpful, including a definition of the economic ramifications of

pursuing such goals, and then it will be easy to arrive at a budget,

from which you will know how much income you actually require to

accomplish your objectives.
