Thought For The Week
Monk: ‘Maharaj, I can hardly pray. My mind is so restless! I find it hard to concentrate at times.’
Mahapurush Maharaj: ‘No, you will have to pray and pray very earnestly. Do not be depressed; do not be disheartened. Be in a happy mood and pray. He will give you everything, my child, everything you want. There is nothing He will withhold from you. He will give you faith, renunciation, purity, discrimination, dispassion and all. Whatever He has He will give you.
He embodied Himself as the man because He wanted to give you all these virtues. That is why He has brought you here and given you shelter in His order. Do not think you are here as a result of your own efforts. Never for a moment cherish that idea! Out of compassion, He has drawn you all here. My child, be resigned to Him.
