While this quiet state brings peace, I worry that without my former motivations, I might slip into inertia or tamas. How do I navigate this transition, discover my divine purpose, and work purely as an instrument of Her will?
It is clearly a sign of the working of Her Grace that has not only shown you the absurdity of being driven by ambition and desires but much more so, given you a touch and the foretaste of the higher consciousness. Nurture it and nourish it by persistent aspiration for becoming Her instrument. Do not shut the newly opened door through doubt.ย
Tamas is a state of dullness, a state of boredom where the mind gets impelled to do all kinds of foolish things to get some pleasure. Calm is the sign of victory of the soul over nature and circumstances. Let the calm deepen and integrate it with the work you are doing. Remember the Mother and offer all you do to Her so that the works become no more a means of transient egoistic satisfactions but of deepening the bond with the Divine. This is the key for all the rest to follow.
Affectionately,ย
