The Shakti Within

Since coming into Sahaja Yoga, I have always heard Shri Mataji spoke about being a Shakti.   The woman of the house ( gruhlaxmi) is the  shakti  o f the house. So in a way there should be a very deep oneness with her.

I wanted to write this on FB but thought no.  While I will get some supporters, I am sure some parents will also be very against me too. I don't intend to be a Tiger Mom.  And I am telling only what I have gone through at work. I have this subordinate, who is 31 years old this year.  Single and have few years working experience in the Big 4.  Father is a respectable man in the industry.   Although Mr.A has working experience, he doesn't prove himself to be so.  He can't perform simple Excel function.  He can't finish his task on time.  He will promise the manager that he will do this and that, but in the end he can't deliver his promise.  If you don't tell him what to do, he will not do it.  When he didn't deliver his task to me on time, he doesn't even update me the status.  Instead, I have to keep on reminding him over and over again.  Someone needs to sit next to him and guide him step by step, as if holding his hand while he walk.
