This letter inspired me to contemplate the abundance of all I’ve received from Gurumayi this year. In doing so, I realized that I’ve had an amazing, uplifting, and transformational 2020. The live stream events have kept me anchored in light, peace, and joy. I visit the Siddha Yoga path website daily, and I’m so grateful to find Gurumayi’s treasured blessings and teachings and the inspiring content from the live streams. I’ve been motivated and grateful for the opportunity to study, assimilate, and put into practice these sacred teachings, which support my daily life with light and wisdom.
My heart radiates peace, joy, and love because of Gurumayi’s and Bade Baba’s constant presence in my life.

The metaphor of the “mega-theater with twelve different movies playing” struck a chord within me. It’s so true! Every day so many small and big stories play out in my life, each flooding me with its own share of emotions. And yet, underneath and beyond it all is the light of the Self
—pristine, tranquil, and steady. I know that when I choose to turn toward the light of the Self, its serenity will wash over all the other movies playing in my mind and bring peace to my entire day.

I love the image of “a leaf drifting down” in the tender little poem the author of the December letter shares with us. Often during my walks, I will follow a leaf gently floating down to the ground and I am filled with a feeling of peace.
Though none of us knew what was in store for us in 2020 when Gurumayi gave us her Message for the year, I soon came to realize that it was the perfect, most supportive message! It has rescued me from many thoughts, fears, and “movie scripts” running in my head, and granted me deep peace and a quiet joy.
