An Ashram is a place where there is no shram/effort.
Keeping the mind at peace and letting divinity flow through you is
effortlessness. And when does that happen? When you are at ease with yourself
and the surroundings. And this is, in fact, the significance of the Ashram –
where you are at home.
Today is the
30th anniversary of the Ashram. This was a barren land before that, and there
was nothing but rocks. The land has been transformed into a beautiful place. This
has all happened because of the meditation, seva and satsang.
When you have
experienced inner peace, then either the Ashram has no significance or all the
places become an Ashram for you. Yet till then, the Ashram and its vibrations,
do have an impact. So, on this occasion of the 30th anniversary of
the Ashram, be at home, be at Ashram, and be at peace with yourself. Wherever
you are, make it an Ashram. Every home becomes an Ashram, this should be our
wish!
