Manasa Pushpa...... by adi_shakti16

[Guest guest]

Once a brahmin priest worshipped the Lord with many different kinds

of flowers. Then he asked, "Lord! Do you want any other flower now?

Are you satisfied now?" The priest was proud that he had done

something big, that he had given the Lord everything. The Lord

said, "There is one more flower.What flower is that," asked the

priest. "Manasa pushpa (mind-flower)," said the Lord. "Where can I

find that," asks the priest. "Right here," says the Lord. He meant

the flower that is the heart. Without knowing this, the priest

wandered all over looking for manasa pushpa, all due to the lack of

sraddha (devotion). After running around for a long time, he came

back exhausted and fell at the Lord's feet and said with great

sadness, "Lord, I could not get manasa pushpa anywhere; please be

satisfied with this! I have only my heart to give you!" The Lord

replied, "This is the manasa pushpa I asked for! What I want is the

flower of purity and love. Without that, even if you spend millions

and do puja for a hundred births, you will not get My presence for

even a second. The attitude of surrender is the bridge that brings

you close to Me. You have not put up that bridge. I am waiting near

you for that."

 

FOLKS, in any worship be it 'devi' or other- the key is to

surrender

your entire being- ATMA-SAMARPAN-

 

It does not matter if you do not know all the mantras

 

it doe not matter if you do not know yantra worship

 

it does not matter if you do not know all the tantras

 

the only thing that can win the mother's heart is your

total 'devotion' and complete 'surrender' once, you have gained a

place in the divine mother's heart and the 'divine mother in your

heart, all else will come- mantras, yantras and tantras!

 

did you know that shri ramakrishna had very little formal education?

how did he come to know all the scriptures , vedas and upanishads ?

ALL the divine mother's grace!

 

jai gurudeva!
