I do have a lots of questions to ask, but I will ask one by one. Bhai, as per my nature, I love to stay alone, far from the crowd, but I am the same person who gets literally talkative with my close ones. To realise the divine presence, I try to avoid crowds, but I think I am doing it the wrong way. 🕊️🪷 [...]

The day when I try to stay calm and steady, I feel depressed. In one of your talks, you said that instead of all our difficulties, we get acquainted to smile because our Ma is with us, but I feel like I have stopped in words. How should I deal with this? Previously, I had doubts regarding humility. I thought humility meant being humble in front of everyone and I felt I couldn’t show it in front of everyone. Then I got to know humble in front of The Divine. Then how to relate this?

The key is not what we outwardly do or do not do, whether we speak more or less. The key is to remember The Mother inwardly and offer all you do to Her. Yoga is not done by personal effort as much as by The Mother’s Power and Presence. Asking or not asking questions is a minor thing. Think inwardly of The Mother as often as you can and all will be well.

Affectionately,

Amid this ominous gloom—broken only by a brief glimpse of the rising morning star heralding dawn—I found myself fiercely shielding an innocent young boy from these crude, predatory giants who had shapeshifted into ordinary men. 🌙🛡️⭐[…]

The dream is once again indicative of certain inner movements. The child is your soul and the dense forest is the lower vital regions strongly under the influence of dark subconscious forces. The horse is your life energy, the vital being struggling to rescue the child. Meeting these giants in human forms is again the deceptive forces of …

In corporate, I meet some people who are Cunning and envious. They smile in front of you, but you know they are jealous of you and are internally plotting to go over you. They are so ingenuine and fake, no matter how much you are honestly have goodwill for them. 🏢🧘🪷[…]

The first thing to do is to ignore all that does not concern us and the work. One should be completely indifferent to what people are or do, let alone what they may be thinking and feeling. By letting our mind enter into thoughts about what they are or might be thinking, we get unwittingly identified with them. For there is in us …
