Imagine

Imagine a little child who waits joyfully and lovingly, every day, to give you a gift.

Now imagine you don't even look at the child. Wilfully or absent-mindedly, you ignore the child.

Or, you take the gift, but toss it aside without acknowledgement or with a curt, "Thanks."

How would the child feel?

Your inner Self is waiting for you every day in your own heart. No, every second!

Turn your attention inward at least a few times a day.

Accept the gift and feel the joy and love of the giver flooding through you.

Open the wrapping tenderly and admire the thoughtful, perfectly-crafted gift - exactly what you need today.

Meditate.

Savour the condition gifted to you every day.

Let its perfume waft through you and fill your entire day.

NOTES

Expanded from one of Daaji's early talks about how a Guru feels when seekers don't practise. Or when they misbehave during satsanghs.

Also one way of regarding God - as a child.
