The glorious green image of the first line of Gurumayi’s Message looks like an emerald with the forest lovingly etched into it. Seeing it, I feel my whole being relaxing with a deep sense of refreshment.
As I reflect on the first line in this way, it is easier to remember to relate to my mind as a precious gift and as an exquisite gem of such artistry. May I always set within it the most beautiful thoughts. May I appreciate the nature of my mind as a form of divine Consciousness. May I include each fresh movement of my mind as part of this magnificence. May I lead my mind back to the light of Shri Guru’s teachings.

As I contemplated Rohini’s guidance for this month of September and the first line of Gurumayi’s Message, in my mind’s eye I saw an endless field of exquisite flowers of every variety and brilliant color! They were all swaying in a soft breeze, all bowing to the Lord as they offered their scents to the air enfolding them.
Looking back at this year, I became aware that all of the challenges I experienced were the nourishing fertilizer for these seedlings, supporting their growth into the exquisite field of magnificence before the inner eye of my heart.
I saw that each of these glowing flowers is an aspect of my inner Self.

When I saw the first line of Gurumayi’s Message for 2026 on the Siddha Yoga path website, the beautiful green background instantly reminded me of being in nature. I then realized that I have been practicing this teaching all year, although it hadn’t occurred to me until today.
After work each day, I take my dog for a walk in the woods, and I often practice japa as I walk. When I am in the company of the tall trees and ponds of water, I always feel renewed, and my mind becomes clear or “reset” after the busyness of the day.
I’m grateful for the realization that I have been practicing this line of Gurumayi’s Message in such a tangible way each day. I cherish this practice.

While contemplating the first line of Gurumayi’s Message, I asked myself, “How have I worked on ’renewing’ and ’resetting’?” Today as I walked on my terrace, I felt aligned with the cool breeze and the silence of the dawn. I felt I am not different from the air around me. I could see oneness in nature around me. I also have fewer opinions and more understanding.
