the path

"One of the directives given to me was to start the Ashram . . . At first, I don't think my idea was on sanyas (renunciation) as much as it was on having the availability to seek the Lord, to be able to study spiritual scriptures and just to really immerse myself in living the spiritual life as much as possible. My children, I had raised them, my husband has passed some years ago. I had reached a point where most of my duties as householder were fulfilled. It gave me the time to want to see, to want to strive, to want to devote quality time, because, you know the work of a woman is so full! I mean it's sometimes twenty four hours. So once that was reduced, I had additional time that I could apply to the path, and that's what I've been doing." - alice
