समय के समक्ष
In the Presence of Time
~ Gurumayi Chidvilasananda

Gurumayi’s teaching “Innovations in time, peacefulness of mind” felt like an initiation to me. The air was so fresh and pure on the morning I contemplated it. I felt like a new time was beginning—a time where I could have a peaceful mind. So I paid close attention to my mind throughout the day. I cultivated positive, peaceful thoughts and actions. The result was a day where I experienced fun, ease, and success at work. I realized that the present time is so pure and that having a peaceful mind enables me to really tune into this purity.

While reflecting on Gurumayi’s teaching “Innovations in time, peacefulness of mind,” I came to understand that time offers me uniquely tailored and innovative guidance. My role is to attune myself to this subtle wisdom to be able to recognize it clearly and respond to it with mindful action. In doing so, I can cultivate a deep sense of inner peace.
What matters most for me is to prepare myself to perceive this guidance, grasp the subtle messages it holds, and apply this acquired wisdom with sincerity and dedication. If I hold a true longing in my heart and a genuine desire to embrace this process, I know I will succeed. Gurumayi’s grace is ever present, continuously supporting me on this path.
