Guest guest Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 I was not aware of the moment when I first crossed the threshold of this life. What was the power that made me open out into this vast mystery like a bud in the forest at midnight! When in the morning I looked upon the light I felt in a moment that I was no stranger in this world, that the inscrutable without name and form had taken me in its arms in the form of my own mother. Even so, in death the same unknown will appear as ever known to me. And because I love this life, I know I shall love death as well. The child cries out when from the right breast the mother takes it away, in the very next moment to find in the left one its consolation. Rabindranath Tsgore-A GEM FROM GITANJALI! such is the love of our Divine Mother ! a heart of compassion and kindness - the two 'breasts' represent her 'Nurturing' qualities, her Lap a place to rest our tired mind, her feet an eternal shelter for our inflated 'egos' and her hands always offering us protection from the enemies within - lust, greed, ignorance, jealousy desire, arrogance, coveteousness eyc... etc... This is the freedom we are seeking.... freedom form bondage - freedom for our soul.... love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
