Simply, I am an ordinary woman who loves God. One of the things I tell myself every day is I am enough and I am nothing. To me, this is the entire essence of Krishna’s message to Arjuna. When Arjuna succumbs to despondency on the battlefield, Krishna admonishes him to get up and get over it! He reminds him that he is a skilled warrior and there’s a war to be fought and victory is guaranteed if he will only take refuge in Him. Like Arjuna, we too are enough, as we have a unique part to play in the Divine plan. And, like Arjuna, we are nothing when – in those glorious moments – we take refuge in our God, crying out in sweet surrender, “Thy will be done!”
And in an instant, we are free.
