    As I more deeply contemplated the teaching “The lessons of time,” I experienced that I am pure, I am perfect, I am light, I am love, I am Consciousness, I am without beginning or end. I became aware that “the lessons of time” support me in experiencing my own divinity and that they will continue to work on me until my true divinity and perfection can shine forth unhindered.

    From the quiet center where I reflected on “The lessons of time,” I realized that I came to this path with nothing but my name, a deep longing, and a commitment to learn the ultimate Truth. Over the years, and through the Guru-disciple relationship, “the lessons of time” have taught me that the best offerings I can make to the Guru are my complete presence, the honesty of my heart, the steadiness of my effort, the willingness to not know and to remain open to continue learning, supported by the Siddha Yoga teachings and practices.


    At every step, Gurumayi has given me guidance, light, patience, grace, and so much more. I offer her my devotion, inspired by all “the lessons of time” that she has revealed to me.

    It’s not always easy to be taught lessons when I am asked to correct something in my behavior, in my way of thinking, or in my attitudes.

     

    Recently, I asked Bade Baba inwardly why I was in a difficult situation—and why he doesn’t protect me from difficult situations in general. The answer came from within: “How else will you learn the lesson?”

     

    This understanding helped me to accept the situation and to go through the difficulties instead of running away from them or ignoring them. I realized that these “lessons of time” are a gift that will help me to become stronger and more detached.
