A message for the abhyasi having doubts about her practice

"My dear daughter,

Please do not worry. 

Yes, most of the time you can feel my guiding you through your heart during the meditation you practice without fail at sunrise every morning. You live your life by the maxims and are dedicated to your master. You must not have the doubts you are feeling at the moment because sometimes you WILL have relatively quiet times. 

There will be occassions when it feels to you like the tide has gone out and you are waiting for it to come back in. But these moments are not what they appear. Your heart feels quiet and this is done intentionally by us so you can use the respite in activity for self-reflection and when you do this dear daughter you will discover that quiet times are extremely beneficial. 

In time to come when you look back on these times, you will come to understand that the most rewarding times included these moments of reflection.
 
It takes a wise abhyasi to appreciate the silent meditative times as well as the action-oriented ones. With wisdom, you will value the clarity that comes from reflection and intentionally seeking the spiritual view of your path. When you connect with yourself in a deeper way you will glimpse hidden things too.

The cruical missing piece to a puzzle may appear symbolically in a meditation, you may find the answer to a dilemma you have been pondering for a while. 

Even when you cannot hear us, know that we are always there beloved daughter"
