Maharaj-ji said to me, 'Courage is a really important thing. Courage is a big thing.' I tell you the truth, there've been times when all I had was the remembering of those words. I was 99% over the cliff + I just had the memory of those few words + it was enough to bring me back.

Maharaj-ji used to say all the time, "If you want to put fresh milk in a cup, you have to wash it first. Otherwise the milk will turn sour." So, this path is a path of cleaning the cup of our own hearts, to hold the nectar of love. #maharajjimonday #neemkarolibaba
