Since the September 11 incidents in the U. S., local initiates have responded to Master's instructions by holding additional group mediation sessions to pray for global peace and elevate the positive energy of our planet. In addition to our normal Sunday group meditation session, a brother and sister initiate graciously offered their home for group mediation on Wednesdays. We also have group meditation on Saturdays in a room at a local hotel.

On the morning of December 1, before the arrival of other initiates for Saturday group meditation at the hotel, I was preparing the room for meditation. Just then, a man entered and said that he had seen the sign reading "Meditation in Session" on the door the evening before, but after quietly opening the door, had not seen anyone and decided to inquire at the reception desk about the nature of the meditation held there. The receptionist simply told him that a spiritual group came regularly to the room on Saturdays to meditate.

He asked me about the meditation method our group practiced, and I introduced him to Master and Her teachings. I had Master's framed picture in my hands and shared it with him. He was very interested and eager to know more and wanted to meditate with us that morning. I told him that one needs to be a vegetarian, be initiated and have an identification card to be able to attend group meditation, and he understood without my having to explain further. He then mentioned that he had been a vegetarian for a year and I could see that he was a spiritual practitioner. I then told him about the Convenient Method and he was interested in that as well. I asked him to return at 1:00 PM if he sincerely wanted to learn, but he replied sadly that he was returning to India and had to be at the airport around 1:30 PM. Upon hearing his reply and realizing his sincerity, I offered to teach him the Convenient Method at that time, since the other initiates were a little late for group meditation.

After learning the Convenient Method, the man shared with me a touching and inspirational story. A spiritual friend in India had recently told him that this would be his last lifetime on this planet and that he would visit the United States in November and would receive a spiritual message that would change his life forever. He didn't believe his friend at the time, because he had never been to the U. S., nor had he had any reason to visit there. But later, he found himself on a business trip to Phoenix, Arizona. He had been in the city for three days and thought constantly about his friend's prediction, but was disappointed that nothing had occurred. That morning, he was profoundly touched and showed much gratitude.

Before he left for the airport, I gave him some of Master's literature and magazines to enjoy. We were both filled with much happiness over the day's events, and he expressed his eagerness to see Master as soon as possible.

Thank You, Master, for Your love, abundant grace, and mystical ways of revealing Yourself and of bringing Home yearning souls!
