“I always give the example of the root of a tree. Avoiding obstacles it is continuously trying to go deeper and deeper into the earth. It does not fight with the obstacles. In fact, without these very obstacles, the roots themselves would not have been able to hold the mighty tree. Thus, problems and obstacles are also essential. Without them you would not have been able to rise and would have become stagnant! The power that teaches you to achieve victory over these problems is the ‘Ma’ Shakti.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, artwork by @ricky_anupom_saikia
