MAA SAYINGS...
RECORDED BY SWAMI SANTANANDA
Disciple: Mother, why is it that my mind does not become steady? When I try to think of God, I find it drawn to various worldly objects.
Mother: It is harmful if the mind is drawn to worldly objects like money and members of one’s family. Nonetheless, the mind naturally dwells on one’s daily activities. If you don’t succeed in meditation, practise Japa. Japa leads to perfection. One attains perfection through Japa. If a meditative mood sets in well and good. If not, don’t force your mind to meditate.
Shree Maa…
