\"Sugar<\/a>

Sugar cane in flower<\/p><\/div>\n

I received my realisation in 2005 and the joy and the love have been steadily growing ever since.\u00a0I was fortunate to be in Sydney when Sri Mataji visited Australia in both 2006 and 2007,\u00a0 to feel the vibrations and share the joy with many yogis from around the world. However, now that I have listened to Mother’s talks over the years, I find my attention is focused more and more on the spirit and that Mother is always with me.<\/p>\n

The other morning I woke at dawn with the sun just rising – and Mother is there.\u00a0I had my morning meditation – and Mother is there.\u00a0I look into the brown eyes of innocence in my brown dog, waiting patiently for the moment we go for our walk – and Mother is there.\u00a0We walk across the paddock with the 360 degree view, and I as I look up to the sky, a bird flies overhead – Mother is there.\u00a0When we arrive at the beach, the sun is about a metre above the sea – Mother is there.\u00a0I feel the warmth of the sun, the caress of the sea breeze – Mother is there. The sea is glistening as the sun spreads over it – Mother is there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On my way to work I ask Mother to keep me in the centre and become the detached witness.\u00a0On the drive home I notice a sugar cane field in flower, the afternoon sun dancing on the shimmering flower tips – Mother is there.\u00a0A traffic jam –\u00a0the heavenly strains of a Mozart concerto plays on the radio – Mother is there. Time is just a concept and I always get where I’m going on Time – Mother is there. Life can be such a joy when we keep our attention on the spirit.<\/p>\n
