Chicago - July 23, 2002

Don't despair that you don't have money to support Sri Swamiji's activities. Don't also count how much you gave. Both are wrong. Do as much as you can. Do what God gives you that day. Then only it is correct. Belief is important. Too much pre-planning can go wrong. What ever has to happen has to happen. I understand that these are harsh economic times with employment problems. Don't even think that how you could lose job having Sri Swamiji with you. Feel that you are having what you deserve and that Sri Swamiji is indirectly supporting you. You can never understand the amount of Blessing and Help you receive from Sri Swamiji. If you still have doubts, think that it is a learning lesson and don't hate doubts. Welcome doubts and think them as lessons. Doubts bring you better experiences. Doubts and clearing them is a good starting point. It comes because you all are human beings. If you calmly think yourself, many doubts disappear. Silence is Ananda. You have to silence your mind and then you reach that point of Ananda. Swamiji is also a partner. You have to like that part of Swamiji which you obsess the most. Okay - Jaya Guru Datta. We have a boat ride this evening. Happy.
