‘Whether you communicate with your Goddess, God and Guru or every known and unknown spirit in Creation; whether you pray all day or heal or provide financial help, always remember the essence of spirituality is to enrich each moment, not just yours but all those whom we are associated with, directly or indirectly, and it needs to be embraced in its totality. Like a meal, that needs various ingredients, some in minuscule quantum, so minuscule that you might not think it really makes any difference whether it is part of the dish or not, but a true chef knows that every ingredient helps in creating that Master Dish, similarly, spirituality is all about embracing and unifying and being all inclusive. The Sun would lose some part of its radiance if one of the seven rays was missing from it.’

‘I understand that all of us cannot do everything. There are some who truly can’t contribute financially as they themselves are trying their level best to keep body and soul together. But they can give of their goodness, their kindness, their smile, just by being decent individuals, selflessly praying for all in creation, spreading love and laughter and tenderness and sheer goodness. Their contribution or charity or projection of compassion, may not be in cash or kind, or even their time, but of their very essence and that divine spark that lurks in each one of us, very often so deep within us that it might as well not exist, but it does exist. A short prayer for those going through pain and discomfort of various intensities does not take too much time. Spirituality in all its totality is the only way to go forward on this beautiful though infuriating journey. Be the best of who you can be, beta. Do the best of what you can do. Live the best of how you can live. Give the best of what you can give. By just striving to give each moment your absolute best, trust me, you will reach your destination.’

‘But, Baba, this road is not that simple. First of all to be able to connect and live in the moment or connect with The One doesn’t happen so often. Why? I mean, I get all that You told me but why is it that the connect with one’s Goddess, God and Guru doesn’t take place every time I sit for prayer, chanting or meditation. Sometimes it takes place but most often it doesn’t. Why is that? Why is it that even when I can connect sometimes, that connection doesn’t last all day but for a short period of time? It’s there but then slowly fades away?’
