I received an email today from my friend Marco who took issue with the fact that he was asked to pay rent at the ashram he has been living at.\u00a0 He thought it would be enough to do some editing work in exchange, although it was never discussed, and he thinks his value is not being acknowledged.\u00a0 I emailed him:\u00a0 “I don’t think Mataji is failing to see your value in house; it is my experience that many have promised to her and not delivered.\u00a0 That’s my observation only thru the decades, based on nothing anyone else has said.\u00a0 I do think you are mistaken that she merely wants to\u00a0rent a room to you as a source of income.\u00a0 I used to feel invalidated when no one around\u00a0let me know I was appreciated.\u00a0 It helped me draw strength from within.\u00a0 With all due respect,\u00a0the only way you can reach the vibrational frequency needed for her to\u00a0appreciate you more, is to step up your frequency of appreciation and devotion to her. I believe the idea of having to pay rent is an excellent one, because it brings up everyone’s beliefs about money and if anything needs to be clarified and cleared, this is the time that will begin happening.\u00a0 This will trigger that opening and ultimate understanding.\u00a0 I believe no one should live at the ashram who is not totally engrossed in Mataji’s teachings.\u00a0 Commit yourself to her if you feel so compelled, and watch the magic begin to flow.\u00a0 But as long as you are biding time, waiting for a sign, so is the Universe, and everything remains at a standstill.\u00a0 It’s your choice.\u00a0 WWMD?”<\/p>\n
