Q&A with Swamiji .....152...More on Life and Sadhana

[Guest guest]

Question from Steve:

As for the How ... Would he do japa as he is caring for the

injured one? Would he see her as the Goddess and serve her as

devotional practice? Would he ever succumb to the feeling, "I

am not doing real sadhana"? How would he light up his life with

God, and use the experience to drive himself farther into the

divine nature than his human mind could have imagined?

 

Swamiji's response :

By continuous japa of the mantra: What a privilege it is to serve

God by doing Her work in this way!

Thank you Swamiji. I now wear rudrushka beads on the wrist so prayer

is with me during the day.
