Reading something each day

Lately, I have been reading every day. This is something I used to do, and then somehow got so busy I did not feel like I had time to do it. Like all things, one must make time for those things that are important and when I commit it helps the space and time be created. Hopefully, my decision to pick back up the viola will force my lovely husband to create space in the office and get all the 500 school books and piles of notes out of my way! So, I have been reading each day. Something from my Guru, Shri Swami Dayananda, and others. Spiritual reading helps me to get centered. I also do have guilty pleasure reads! I was a nerd in school and by the time I was in 2nd grade, I was reading on a highschool level. I had a special reading time assigned to me and would read and read. Most of the time, I would read a couple hundred pages a day- this is when I was 7. My mom would always get books for me and I went to the library at school too. Then, when I got older, I had some addiction problems that robbed me of all things I loved to do. After being off all that for 8 years now after sruggling since I had been 21, now I'm 33 and continue to add all those things back in and more of the things I did and want to do. The space and time are there and I have jumped in with both feet. No more wasting time, I did all that when I was younger. Currently, I am studying (and will be forever) Yoga Sutras, 29 Days of Giving, It's a Wonderful Life, it just takes PRACTICE! Reading fills me up and helps me not to think about myself and problems, etc. My guru says all the spiritual practices are great. But, the real deal is reading the words of the rishis and sages. This is so you can have an understanding of the truth- Atma, Purnam. you are the whole. not separate. object and subject at same time. Purnam! shri guru namah hari om!
