LIVING A SAHAJ LIFE
What would Shri Mataji think of my behaviour?
What do innocence, wisdom and devotion mean to me?
Where is my attention?
Am I peaceful? Is my behaviour dharmic?
Do I have love for others? Fearlessness to do what’s right?
Do I talk sweetly? Do I have humility?
Do I forgive others? How often am I thoughtless?
Does my behaviour give joy to others?
Let’s not leave our own
behaviour to chance.
Let’s take control of ourselves
Let’s watch ourselves.
Let’s do the right thing.
Let’s be cool.
Sahaj behaviour has cool vibrations.
