Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Dear Mary Ann: You misunderstood my intent and purpose of the post. Every one cannot follow the rules set not in this clime and time. so simplify. There are provisions for that. I did not discard rules completly but simplified it (as sanctioned). Hence I said " Just recite gayatri as many times as you can COMFORTABLY per day. Fix the number and keep to it and keep the time same and the place same." I said "Forget Rules" because if one keep thinking of rules one will not get concentration which is the be all and end all of sadhana. Another sine qua non for proper results is complete faith. I meant by "Tell devi this is what i know and this is how I do it. You bloody well accept it." that be confident that its OK, this is all I can do may devi accept it. There are various bhavas of sadhana as the Empress when you approach her with the due reverence due to the EMPRESS; as a Teacher when you approach HER with the reverence due to a Guru; when as a friend or lover with the appropriate attitude. and the ultimate aim is internalisation. when you internalise you merge. Thats why all sadhana is based on the 4 aphorisms: aham brahmaasmi - I AM BRAHMA tatvamasi - THOU ART THAT ayamaatmaa brahma - I AM THE SOUL INCARNATE THAT IS BRAHMA prajïänaà brahma -THE CONCIOUSNESS IS BRAHMA in order to achive this state confidence of a warrior is required. It is this that was indicated by the statement"You bloody well accept it." I am sorry if I casused misunderstanding Mary Ann <maryann wrote: Dear Sankara Menon: Was it devi that wrote the rules you say to forget? (I don't think so.) Must a man insist that devi accept his offering? (Is she non-responsive without his force?) Or do you actually mean to say that if a devotee is devoted in practice, devi will respond regardless of adherence to "rules"? If that is so, then there is no need to order devi around, man! She's already there in your corner. , sankara menon <kochu1tz> wrote: > Just recite gayatri as many times as you can COMFORTABLY per day.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 “If that is so, then there is no need to order devi around, man!” I don’t think so that it is meant to order DEVI, because DEVI cant be order around. But If you are close and passionate about DEVI she becomes sometimes more like a friend and we talk to Her like we talk to a good friend. We joke with HER, We tease HER, We get angry with HER, We demand from HER. Some may not understand this but I do not see it as “ordering”. I thought it is funny. I have personally done the same many times. I told DEVI I this is what I know and this is how I will do [ take it or leave it ] and I know she will somehow accept it. The main point is the sincerity and honesty in doing the sadhana and not the no of times you recite or doing it correctly according to rules. I think what Sankara Menon meant is to make the sadhana simple as a starting point. Like my previous comments, if you cant recite anything, just sit there, stare and smile at DEVI. Nothing wrong with that. “She's already there in your corner.” Nope Mary Ann, She is not just at the corner, SHE is everywhere. ********************************************************************************\ *********************** ".. you may shoot me with your words... you may cut me with your eyes ... you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still like air, I will rise ..."
