The Power of 'Good Morning, God'

Can we do one thing? Can we say that... I heard that Mother Teresa told someone that all you have to do when you start is, when you start your day, say 'Good morning, God.' Just once. That's all. Any trouble? Anyone says, 'No, I can't do it'? Now you may say that first thing in the morning the alarm was ringing, I was getting late, something, something. Okay, then whenever you remember, say 'Good morning, God.' Now if this was good enough advice for Mother Teresa to give, it is good enough by far for me to give anyone. So everybody with me in this? At least this we will do, come what may? Yes? Once a day at least. Start your day, say 'Good morning, God.' Easy.

Now you will find that as you do this sincerely—so this is all you have to do, that's it, that's all you have to do—as sincerely as possible when you wake up in the morning, say 'Good morning, good morning Ram Ji, good morning Krishna Ji, Ram Ram.' Then if you do it sincerely, there's automatically you will find that you start getting a few minutes here and there to be with Him. How does it work? It's all His ways; we can't see. Just in a mere remembrance of Him once a day, you will find that now you have some few moments a day where Maya is not really pulling you in. You have that space. And with simplicity, with no stress, no grasping, no trying to achieve anything, no experience, nothing—with the innocence of a child, just remember His name. He Ma, Bhavani, Durga, Kali, whatever you want to say here, Her name, Holy Mother Mary, whatever you want to say, just a few times.

She's only made the space, He only made the space. There's no stress needed from your side. All you did was put that effort to say 'Good morning.' Yes? And if anyone has complaints, you can bring them to me, that you said this for a week but you didn't get... there was no space being made in your life to remember Him for the rest of the day. Yes? So now you said, 'Okay, now this space came.' You don't know where it came from because you thought your life was so busy, so difficult, all of that, you're so caught up in your worries, but now suddenly you start getting space. If you use that in this way, then what will happen? You'll get even more space. You'll be able to take... to remain in remembrance of Him more and more like that, naturally.
