Open your heart
A teen aged daughter of an Ashram devotee had written to Mataji, opening out her heart, which pleased Mataji very much. In her letter, the girl had admitted all her faults and lapses, sought forgiveness for the same and for Papa's blessings that she might overcome her weaknesses. Mataji liked the letter so much that she asked Swamiji to read it out to her second time and repeatedly mentioned how happy she was to hear such a letter.
Later, Mataji remarked: "I keep thinking of that letter and feel so happy. Here she has written so frankly, opening her heart out. That is exactly what I want all of you to do - open your heart and admit your shortcomings. If you do that, then there is hope for you that Papa who is within all will help you to overcome your faults and progress towards Him. Unfortunately, what happens is that when you first come here, you all open your hearts but later on, it becomes a 'closed book' and your faults keep piling up. Papa used to say: 'Ramdas would like to reveal Himself in their hearts but there is so much trash piled up there that there is no room for Ramdas to enter. Moreover, they keep the doors of their hearts tightly shut!'
