Every day you must spend some time sitting with Swami in your
own house, in your own office, in your own little Puja room,
in your own moments of silence talk to Swami who is the indweller, who is there
within. Tell Him your pain, tell Him your happiness, tell Him your
sorrows, anxieties, fears, all difficulties. Talk to Him in your own heart. And
see how He is going to talk. He is always waiting to talk. But we are not ready
to talk to Him. You should not sacrifice that for any other thing.
Sacrifice your sleep, sacrifice your food, sacrifice your work – don’t
sacrifice this time that you need to spend with Swami. Then you will always
remain pure, energetic, kind- hearted. These are the qualities that Swami is
looking at. Be good instruments. Don’t let your ego come. That spoils the
instrument. That I cannot allow. You be pure instruments. So many things can
happen, wonders can happen.
