“My Way” or the “Highway”
An Urban Devi event with Gopimata Devi Dasi
We are conditioned to want people and situations to be “my way.” When they are not, we may get all fussy and try to bend them to our will in either gross or subtle ways, or else we brood about it, draining our psychic energy. How can we change these patterns that perpetuate our anxiety and dissatisfaction and distract us from unconditional love in Krsna Consciousness?
