Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Jaimaa Thanks Nora, for your well thought out reply. The recent surge of members and posts is scary because the posts of the last four, five days make me wonder if its really possible to stick to the focus on Shakti Sadhana...there are many groups that deal with many of these same subjects Thank you Jaimaa for your kind and considerate comments. Back to this issue of the possibility of focusing on Shakti Sadhana, well yeah! I agree and disagree with all. Infact many a times during my chat session with some members, several of one of them commented that we [ the shakti sadhana group ] have divert our focus. They say we should talk of nothing but about what pertains to Shakti Sadhana alone. Personally I feel such is really boring. But again when I look at it, in life sometimes we do have the tendency to go through all these. Along in our spiritual journey, we get distracted, diverted etc and only for those who are really know what they want and strong will remain focus. I see the distractions as a form of entertainment. You get entertained, you laugh and when time to remain serious you be serious. Sometimes I believe DEVI personally stir the nest for specific reason. Sometimes I believe SHE purposely bring in the "wrong people" [ as some may say ] to attract the right ones. To me the message board is the microscopic representation of our actual life. Lets say a virtual exercise. Like those pilots, before they actually goes up and fly those multi million jets, they undergo virtual training first and only when they are confident and when the trainer feel that he/she is good enough, only then they are allowed to be given the opportunity to fly the actual jet. Over the past few years since I am given the opportunity to co moderate this group together with Devi Bhakta, this message board is like a training ground. You get scolded, humiliated, criticised, defamed etc… and the real test from my personal experiencec is to remain "cool" and be logical, and the ability to not "fight" back. Sometimes its best not to "fight back" for some its wrong but sometimes it is the most honourable thing to do. Thus my many remarks before : does being submissive or the show of humility or silence is weakness or strength itself. All of us have our weakness and our strength. I believe in Shakti Sadhana we learn to overcome our weakness and expand our strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
