Ma’s message on Sādhana

Sādhana is the effort to rid the obstacles on the path to Him; to
get rid of them from their roots. In the world of jivas, everyone

has to go through various types of pleasure and pain. This is all
God’s play. Always think it is He, in different forms. Pray –
please give me patience and endurance. Only by the mind being

immersed in God, will it be favorable for you to go ahead on your
own path. Perform work with your hands and japa in your mind,
talk only when it is necessary. It is necessary for the sādhak to

always remember Him, to stay away from all worldly attractions,
even if one is unable to perform japa for a long period of time. It
is not possible to free oneself from worldly desires if one does not

surrender to God. Without freeing yourself from worldly desires it
is not possible to have genuine attachment towards God. Japa or

meditation of Krishna, love for Him and attraction towards Him
should be such that all troubles become Ishta. That is why always
meditate on Him, perform all kriyās for Him, become an

instrument in His hands. Keep your mind at His feet. Keep your
body, which is His temple, always clean and neat. Try to make all
actions of the body full of Krishna by performing His japa and by

meditating on Him.
