We are not saying that you leave your home or abandon your responsibilities. You don’t need to become Mirabai, leaving your Ranaji. Instead, you can stay with your Ranaji and help him evolve. Meditate together and make it a shared journey.
Finding Joy in Meditation
Think about offering a child their favorite treat, like ice cream. They would jump at the chance without needing willpower to finish it. Similarly, when you cherish something, like meditation, you will do it without hesitation. The love and interest in meditation are crucial. When you have a keen desire and restlessness, or "tadap," to achieve the highest, nothing can stop you.
Balancing Material and Spiritual Life
The Two Wings of a Bird
Babuji Maharaj, a revered guru, often compared spirituality and material life to the two wings of a bird. A bird cannot fly with one wing; if one wing is longer, the bird will go in circles. This circling, known as Kalachakra or the cycle of life and death, signifies an imbalance. Achieving balance between the spiritual and material aspects of life allows you to rise straight up, symbolizing spiritual evolution.
