for Lathaji and challenges of the 15 minute sadhana

[Guest guest]

Latha

 

This issue you face we are all facing as devotees wanting to do

sadhana, to bow down to infinite consciousness, to put down the ego.

 

Recently I asked Swamiji something related. We have a plan to do

some ambitious sadhana. It appears to be, God does not will it at

this time. What then?

 

"ADAPT THE SADHANA."

 

This is what you are working on.

 

Thakur, p 309, Gospel of Ramakrishna:

 

"A devotee who can call on God while living a householder's life is

a hero[ine] indeed. God thinks: 'S{He} who has renounced the world

for my sake will surely pray to Me; he must serve Me. Is there

anything very remarkable in that? People will cry shame on him if he

fails to do so. But he is blessed indeed who prays to me in the

midst of his worldly duties. He is trying to find Me, overcoming a

great obstacle--pushing away, as it were, a huge block of stone

weighing a ton. Such a [wo]man is a real hero[ine.]"
