Heart to Heart

A disciple once asked Hazur Maharaj Ji why he liked photographing flowers so much. He replied:

Flowers are your best friends, always smiling. You can stand before them weeping and they will be smiling. They were made for that – so many colours and shapes, different expressions and shades. Nature wants us to enjoy these innocent pleasures.

Well you know Hazur loved roses. You are all his roses and he gave me the seva of head gardener to look after the garden and his roses.
_{Baba Gurinder Singh, as quoted in Equilibrium of Love}

Master’s grace is always there. He doesn’t withhold his grace after initiation. A gardener does his best to see that a tree yields fruit. He puts the right type of nutrients in the soil and waters, cuts and prunes the tree because he’s anxious for it to yield fruit once he has taken responsibility for it. The Master is always anxious that the disciple should go – the sooner the better – back to the level of the Father. When he’s so anxious, he doesn’t withhold his grace.We have to make use of that grace by becoming receptive, and meditation makes us receptive to his grace. Whenever we attend to meditation, that’s a special occasion to get the grace.
