The Importance of Recharging
Tuesday October 21, 2008
You might wonder what is so important about reciting daily prayers. To me, it’s like filling my car with gas, or eating three meals a day. I need to recharge my Sikhi or I wither like flower in need of rain. Gurbani, the Guru's word, is so refreshing that the few minutes required for nitnem recharges me like a down pour in a drought.

I’m just finishing reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s about a year she spent getting in touch with her spirituality. After four months in an ashram in India, she discovered the healing power of meditation. I have gotten away from my own practice, and you and Elizabeth are inspiring me to return to it.
