When I read in this introduction, “....when it comes to being in the presence of Shri Guru, there is always more than meets the eye," I was reminded of my experience some years ago in Gurudev Siddha Peeth.
During a recitation of Shri Guru Gita, Gurumayi caught my wandering eyes. I was directed to sit behind the pillar for Shri Guru Gita from that day to the end of my visit! At the time it looked and felt to me like a reprimand. Little did I know just how much that direction would support me in my life and sadhana.
Some years after that visit to Gurudev Siddha Peeth, I developed an untreatable eye condition that required greater focus and use of my peripheral vision. Although this was a difficult time for me, the compassion and benevolence I had experienced in Gurumayi’s direction all those years ago had prepared me to handle this life-changing condition.

Just before reading
Time to Dream with Nature I had completed reciting
Shri Guru Gita. I had offered my recitation to the healing and protection of one of my horses who had recently injured herself. Afterward, in meditation, I had a realization that Gurumayi protects me and my animals. I felt that the animals in my care and nature in my part of the world all rejoice on Gurumayi’s birthday!
