It has been my personal experience that when I learned the mantra, all the things I needed magically appeared. Therefore, spend your time doing the practices instead of searching for the "proper" things with which to do the practices. I saw a lot of sadhus wandering in the bazaars, who never had sufficient time to do their practices because they were so busy looking for things."<< Thank you, Swamiji....I did see myself wandering in the bazaar with those sadhus, looking for the "right ingredients" for the homa offerings! In fact, the other night I had a dream where I WAS in a bazaar in India and a great great saint came into the clearing accompanied by a group of sadhus but no one noticed because they were too busy looking for murtis and malas in the stalls around the clearing. In the dream, I did see him and ran to pranaam but the tendency to want to "make it perfect" is there...thank you for the reminder!!! sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
