haribol,prabhus,sakis and devas....tonight I lit the candles first.today i was a bit stuck in maya,having to deal with my seemingly never ending trials with cupid, who struck me in a garden whilst i was trying to do some bhakti.But I suppose i got an answer eventually,on my due page to read in srimad bhg...6/16/35.Srila Prabhupada said "A devotee who has surrendered fully to the Lord...knows that the creative energy of all living entities...exists because they are all part and parcel of the Lord."They are part of God,but are not God..SO that sorted that out..well hopefully, cos i have to work with him on monday again.....So I will be considering the element of the "creative energy" and doing some due time with brahmacharya understanding and wondering where on earth im supposed to direct this energy,if not at my colleague.
In the last few weeks I have given up smoking,drinking,tea,coffee,fizzy drinks (see Lord Indra)and sex. I had a wierd thing happen to me which involved some enemies,my children and the police,and a large bottle of the honey,yoghurt and spring water I bathed my Lord Nrsimha in. I, eventually after raging in anger and scarring the police out of my house fell in a heap of tears and got doped up by the doctor.I was then struck with a sense of how stupid i am and it appeared I was being given a choice admit to god (and no-one else ) that i am a complete idiot,or to carry on like everyone else .So I very bravely grovelled to the Lord,and this was actually easier than not admitting I am an idiot.At that point I stopped taking the medication and after I had socked all my enemies one,i went back to work,and started developing boils all over my face.
Then yes there is more,one of my freinds who thinks he is my boyfreind took me out fishing to catch salmon..(this is part of the culture up here.).His motivation to do this was to prevent me from seeing someone else who i thought was my boyfreind but isnt.Well i caught a salmon,which i felt really guilty about even though,it is quite an art,and some people never catch one.Then the freind suggested we celebrate by drinking a bottle of whisky,which is the tradition up here,when you catch your first salmon. So we took the fish and the whisky to my mothers. late into the hours of the morning, we were all so drunk ,i phoned up the person who i thought was my boyfriend but isnt,and the guy who thinks he is my boyfreind,but isnt ,punched me in the face,and i got a bleeding nose...He then went out of my mothers house,in his car and got stopped by the police and arrested for drunk driving.He got thrown in the cells ,and has had his licence removed,and has lost his driving job, ...SOOO
Then i gave up drinking,fishing,smoking and sex...
I had to get my computer running,cos i am doing an online computer course(as is the way up here)and I thought I check out some sensible association....cos i reckon i need some....Please speak to me,,,I need krishna friends.....
