My Spiritual Companion

By Nora, Georgia

This morning, I had a troubling issue that kept coming up to me. And no matter how hard I tried to let it off my thoughts, it kept coming. Even this morning’s spiritual exercise could not suppress it. The issue actually kept intruding in my thought as I was singing HU and making effort to focus on Mahanta’s gaze. It was a battle.

Then suddenly I looked to my side on the bed and beheld there was the new book by Harold Klemp, Spiritual Exercises for the Shariyat, Book One. I had a nudge again to open it at random for guidance. I found my thumb on this paragraph:

“Prepare yourself for a chat with the Master.

“What would you like to say? Sing HU or your secret word as you contemplate this. Then begin to speak from your heart, gently, out loud, knowing the Inner Master can hear you completely. Say all you wish to say.

“Then listen, listen, and listen.”

With this reading I was completely in tears and speechless about the reality of ECK.

The answer I needed was right there on those lines glowing at me instantly following my worrisome thoughts. What else can anyone ask for? Of course, I started conversing with the Master immediately, pouring my big worry-story in tears. What a big relief when I was done! I could go to work then with a light heart, looking forth for answers as I continue to “listen, listen, and listen.”

Thank you so much for this book that is now my spiritual companion.
