A devotee is like a needle which is always drawn
towards the magnet. But the needle has to be near enough and
must be clean. If you stay far away and complain that Grace has
not come, what can be done? You must scrape off the mud and rust
by the process of repentance. Sometimes, you come near for some
time and stray way. I do not mean the physical distance.
I do not measure distance in miles or meters. Realize that I am
always with you, in you, beside you, ever. Only you
have to be aware of Me and make use of My presence.
