Mother Meera

I went to see Mother Meera recently. Didn’t do a thing for me. I queued up on my knees, received the blessing and stared into her eyes, searching, searching for something and nothing.

I had intended to leave a the beginning of the session because I found the whole thing so ridiculous. I’m not this guilable!? But I thought, well, I’ve come all this way so I may as well go through with it.

But having come home, I keep seeing references to her and I’ve been thinking about my own mum and then found out that my yoga teacher have something in common, mothers becoming ill and then having to find nursing homes for them. Other things have been resolving themselves or have become clearer. So question is, have these developments been because of her? Well of course, because if I hadn’t made the decision to go and then to take some time off around it, I wouldn’t have created the space for myself to do this work.

Nice post. Many things change, and we realize only afterwards, as one is very often too excited at the actual event (like searching, searching). Mother Meera will soon go to India. This is a site with lots of quotes and photos you may enjoy: Mother Meera.
