For me, the way to truly understand a teaching is to incorporate it into my daily life. Many times, I find my mind swirling amidst the ups and downs of daily life in my work in patient care. What helps me is to pause for a few moments between patients, close my eyes, and repeat the mantra. This brings me to a peaceful inner world of light and love. When I open my eyes, I feel this beauty come forth to all I come in contact with.
What a wonderful practice this is.

This is the first time I feel I understand the word assimilate and its relationship with study, practice, and implementation. The visual example of ink in water is something that I will continue to learn from for a long time. The story of Dronacharya and Yudhisthira was profound and easy for me to understand. This exposition has opened a doorway in my life.

Each day I ask Gurumayi, Baba, and Bade Baba to please bless and care for my wife, who has been very ill for a year. Last week, as I was asking for blessings, I suddenly became aware of my own ability, as one with the Guru, to offer prayers in concert with our beloved Gurus. I am so appreciative for this experience, which came through assimilating the teaching of oneness with Shri Guru.

As I read and reread the exposition, I became more and more enthusiastic and rooted in my commitment to assimilate the Gurus' teachings. When I finished it, I knew exactly what to do next! I called up another Siddha Yogi and invited her to be my study buddy. She had also read Swami ji's exposition and wholeheartedly accepted my invitation.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for the Siddha Yoga path website, through which the Siddha Yoga teachings, and step-by-step guidance in how to make them our own, are so readily and exquisitely available every day.
