Sadhviji’s Divine Satsang: What is the Greatest Waste of Human Potential?
In a beautiful new Divine Satsang from California, where she is currently visiting, Sadhviji shares inspiring insights with our incredible global family as she answers questions from those living at home in India and abroad – insights that help us all to go deeper, farther and higher on our spiritual paths!
In the first question, taken from one of our family members in India, Sadhviji is asked what she believes is the greatest waste of human potential. In response, Sadhviji eloquently shares that the greatest waste is to not realize the Truth of who we are, going through life thinking that we are this body, we are this job, we are this or that…and, to prevent this, she shares, we must simply remind ourselves constantly who we are! Watch and listen as she explains.
Next, Ellen from Detroit, Michigan in the United States checked-in to ask what is the best way to cultivate devotion to our Ishta-devata, the personal deity to whom a devotee feels the most affinity. Sadhviji so sweetly responds by reminding us that the whole world is the embodiment of the Divine, so if we can love anyone or anything on the planet we are loving the Divine!
Then, Hersha in India asks how we can focus on enlightenment and spiritual practices when we are really experiencing physical pain and suffering. In response, Sadhviji reminds us that our spiritual practice is just that – a practice – and by sharing wonderful stories of her first years in India, shares how allowing ourselves to experience that pain or suffering is actually a powerful part of that practice so that the experience of the pain becomes just a part of the perfect moment that you’re living.
Finally, Prashant in Hong Kong asks how we can maintain a japa mala – do we wear it on our body, or keep it in the puja room? Sadhviji responds by sharing that the point of the japa mala is to connect us to the Divine, so we should perform the japa as many times during the day as we can – which can be done without the mala. So, depending upon how many times and where we perform the japa, that’s where you should keep the mala. But, be sure to listen to Sadhviji’s beautiful guidance about the condition our body or puja room should be kept to ensure that the mala is treated with the respect and dignity that it deserves!
