• Maataji has given a very beautiful simile referring to the need of the hour / emergency. When a snake comes, everyone runs here and there immediately, but no one will say, let this Bhagavad Gita class gets completed, then we will think about the snake. But when coming to Devotion, we will not give such (snake) importance to our life / devotional life. We give less importance or ignore that We have to practice 16 rounds of chanting, we have to do Ekadasi fasting, we have to attend Aaratis, we have to attend Bhagavad Gita Classes, we have to render services to the spiritual master and to the temple authorities. But when snake comes, we act immediately, but when topic of devotion comes, we neglect / ignore / postpone…. That is the average standard / behavior of human mentality is……
