As I contemplate the teaching “The memory of time,” I experience the precious gift of time as an assortment of memories. I remember times of joy, love, compassion, wisdom, and even heartbreak. Yet the memories that mean the most to me are the ones that changed me the most: the day I received
shaktipat-
diksha from Gurumayi; when I received the mantra; when I heard Gurumayi’s talks; when I learned to recite
Shri Guru Gita; the times I offered
seva; the times I met devotees who shared their spiritual experiences with me; and when I saw the
murti of Bade Baba at the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Oakland for the first time and felt I had loved his essence eternally.
All these memories overpower the ones that might pull me down, and they are the ones I focus on.
