When we are intuitively connected to our Source, we will always find the appropriate response. I remember when I first met Shree Maa and Swami. Shree Maa was sitting on a little lawn chair, all in yellow, with yellow socks. I went over to give Her some flowers. I hardly had a chance to get a word out before Swamiji came and bruskly shooed me away. At first I thought, well!, and geeze. But then I realized that Swamiji was preparing the site for the homa and that I was in the way. So he did and said exactly what was necessary to the situation, nothing more, nothing less.
