Start by offering. Offer your day when you wake up. Offer your sleep before you sleep. Offer your work, each work, smallest activities such as bathing, dressing up, walking, cooking, eating, meeting, going out, everything.
Offer all you do to the Mother doing everything in the spirit of Her service, with the thought and attitude that you are doing it for Her. Leave the results entirely in Her hands.
Offer all you have to Her which means that instead of owning and possessing things know that everything belongs to Her and you are simply a trustee. Today these things and people are given to you by Her and hence you must deal with them consciously and keeping in mind that they are Hers. If and when they are no more there with do not lament but know that what you need will be given to you.
Offer all you are. It means to become conscious of the motives of your actions, the traits of your character and personality. Offer them to pray with a prayer and a prayer that they may change according to what the Divine Mother would want them to be.
In short think of Her, read Her works to have a framework for the way one should lead one’s life. Cultivate faith and avoid agitation and excitement. Pray that Her Peace settles in you as it is the best inner condition to feel Her Presence.
Sit for some time everyday before Her photographs and concentrate upon Her Presence in your heart. Call Her Name and remember Her as often and as much as you can.
Slowly you will grow conscious of Her Presence and an inner guidance. Live your life surrounded by Her comforting Presence that supports and protects, leads and carries us on the great journey of life and yoga.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
