Jai Ma Durga

(25 May 2025)

Practice for death and life.

A teacher once said (or joked) that those who can meditate do meditation and those who cannot meditate sing. Singing is somehow easier for some — perhaps because it is an accessible and generally pleasant method.

Whatever you do, do it for Self. God = Guru = Self. Just keep on rearranging the furniture, get completely lost in it, enjoy the gravity. Change is the only constant. Seek and discover in your own experience that what you seek seeks you. A new plot of land each day. It’s all grist for the mill. “On this path effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure. Even a little effort toward this awareness will protect you from the greatest fear,” (Bhagavad Gita, 2.40). We learn to “make time” for sitting, listening, looking, breathing in… breathing out… surfing the waves of limitation and intensities. With practice, we learn to simply tend to the part of the garden we can touch that day.
