And that means, the affection always is stronger than whatever pain. When it influences thought and action to its deepest level, in its turn that will dissolve conditioning, which will result in apperception (Self-realization) and getting aware of the Life-force (Shakti), which is the "classical" sequence but not necessarily has to be that way always.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 yes. and one way to test this a bit is to go do some kirtan, devotional chanting. It opens the heart up and helps you to feel the shakti. yum, Mark ps sometimes the shakti jumps in me and opens my heart. sometimes my heart opens and I feel the shakti flow. both are nice. , "hrtbeat7" <hrtbeat7> wrote: > , "gabriele_ebert" <g.ebert@g...> wrote: > > > Can someone here explain to me the connection or interrelation > between devotion (to god or the guru) and the rise of shakti-energy, > please? > > > ....they are the same -- > there is only devotion, which is only shakti. > any distinctions are purely imaginary, which is > also devotion, also shakti. > nothing is immune to this yearning, which is devotion, > the expression of shakti rising to the recognition of > Itself as Only God, Only! > can you separate the water from the stream, > the dreamer from the dream? > Free from any concerns about this or that, > the true devotee tastes the fruit of every world, but > only Beloved touches their lips, and all the while it is > only the tasting that is tasting, only the devotion that is > devoted, only God, Only God swirling through Itself as This!
