Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.

Dear Daniella,

What a beautiful story. I’ve lived in an Ananda community for over 10 years and sometimes it’s easy to forget the pain-filled world outside. Before I found Ananda, I worked as a visiting nurse and often had to deal with tragic, abused, angry, and even violent patients or family members particularly in the slums of East and West Oakland. I’d have given anything to have the powerful tools we have in these teachings to have been better able to help those patients. I didn’t know the word “mantra” but I often recited the words of Christ, over and over to myself, “When you’ve done it unto to the least of these my brethren, you’ve done it unto me.” Mother Teresa described her work in the Calcutta slums, as seeing the distressing disguise of Jesus, in the sick and dying. Through your experiences you have shown a deep and spiritual way we can help and even heal those who are suffering.

Thank you for writing your story and sharing it with all of us.

so much joy in Master,
miriam

Hi, Daniella,
I can share some of your experiences. It took me a lot of years to get rid of 70% of my negative reactions…………peace lou

Dear Daniella,
Thank you for sharing your insights and wisdom. I was particularly struck by your well stated intention, “to transfer your clients’ pain and suffering to God where it belongs”. I work as a social worker with disadvantaged, often impoverished, individuals and often over burden myself (and eventually burn out) when I “forget” to pray. Thank you for the reminder. I desperately needed to hear/read that today. God bless you in your service.
Warmly,
Muriel Percy

Dear Daniella,
Thanks so much for your inspiring message and story. You are talking about the kind of spirituality where the rubber meets the road…dealing with everyday tough life situations. I applaud your willingness to take on clients and situations that most people would naturally shy away from. That to me takes courage. I live at the Ananda Portland community. It is great to read how others on this path are bringing their spirituality “into the trenches.”
Thanks again!
Namaste,
Bill Grady

Dear Daniella,

Thanks for sharing the experience you had about the disappointing tenant. As I was reading it, I thought that everything was going to turn out well at the end. My train of thought brought me to the same conclusions you arrived (hurt and disappointment). It was inspiring to see how you handled it afterwards.

In Divine Friendship,
