Beloved Grace, Jai Maa!

i thought about what you said, and i must agree with you. The will

and desire seem to come first...some days we feel inspiration and

feel God's Presence. Other times, [perhaps due to our particular set

of experiences that we allow to affect our mood] we may not feel as

inspired. This is where the patience comes in. And tolerance.

Patience and tolerance seem to walk hand in hand. Maa, please bless

us with all the Divine Qualities that will enable us to feel Your

Presence always! Let us drink from the Holy Fount of Immortality..may

we all remember who we are and cease all doubt! May we see Your Light

shining through all eyes! Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Ramakrishna

Deva! Let our minds cease all of this calculating! Maa! Maa! Maa!

muktimaa
