IExcerpt from a video of Maitreya DadashreejiI Maitreya Dadashreeji: People tend to think that,”if I meditate, then my mind will be quiet.” They also think, “If I meditate, then I will be able to control my anger.” We look at the practice of meditation in this manner; that it will lead me to a very (high)spiritual state.  I’ll move towards becoming a saint, becoming a renunciate, or a yogic master!

IExcerpt from a video of Maitreya DadashreejiI Question:  There are many people who do terrible acts but it seems like they never receive anything bad in return.  Everyone has Divine within them, but why does it take so much time to see justice?
