While on the Path
Confession

By sister-initiate Radostina, Plovdiv, Bulgaria (Originally in Bulgarian)

I decided to write this confession in order to help other people get out of a desperate situation.

Due to circumstance, I have been unemployed for three years. That alone is sufficient to depress anyone. In my case other factors also contributed to that. I withdrew into myself and became absolutely indifferent. In the mornings I could barely force myself to get up.

During that time, I met the local contact person and began to practice the Convenient Method. After a few months I was initiated. The meditation helped me to see many things more clearly; it gave new meaning to my life. I realized that I had to pull myself together, to mobilize all my will in order to get out of that condition. I began to get involved in different activities, although it was unpleasant for me and it took a lot of effort on my part. I tried to have no time for gloomy thoughts and self-pity. Gradually I found pleasure in these activities. I got to know cheerful and optimistic people and I, bit by bit, regained my self-confidence and sense of humor. I changed my attitude towards God. I was raised an atheist and have not been a believer for the most part of my life, but now that has changed. I am convinced that God hears my prayers, as I have received answers to many of them. In the most difficult moments I remind myself that I am not alone. I am teaching myself to think positively and to enjoy the little things in life. I am grateful for all the good things that I receive daily, for my gifts and abilities (no matter how insignificant they are), for my health, for my loving and supporting parents, for my true friends, on whom I can thoroughly rely, and for so many other things…

My life is seemingly the same. Only the way I perceive it is different. My outlook of the world has changed entirely. Of course I have my dreams and aims like every other person, but even if they do not come true, that will not be “the end of the world” for me. There will be so many other things that I can enjoy.

Now I work with pleasure and inspiration. I try to give my best – that’s a necessity for me already. I believe that now I am much stronger and more prepared for all the challenges that life will bring me.

The change that happened with me due to Master and the meditation is a real miracle! Thank You, Master, for the miracle of my life!
