Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Have there been any cases of the Mother punishing the sadhaka becoz he/she did not follow the rules? Tradition is fine, but I presume it should be a tool to maintain and increase the bhakthi ,shraddha and love to the Mother than increase fear if not complied with. Many a would-have-been-sincere person has been pushed away from rituals just becoz of insistance on so many rules in the name of tradition, without explain the benefit of the sadhana(other than the satisfaction that one is following a tradition) . She is the Mother. I believe strongly that Love to her is needed first to pray to her, than fear of reprimand becoz of bending tradition. What you say is like what happens in the Royal families- the son (Prince)asking the mother permission to see the mother(Queen). LS says "Dhandanatha ". Doesn this mean punishing for loving her but not necessarily following tradition. I have seen people constipated by tradition with neither love for fellow beings nor understanding of why the tradition says,leave alone seeing her in all creations. With neither of the above, "following tradition" can be an excuse to ride the high pedastal and please ones own ego. May Bala be with us to bless us. Probably show us to love her more. Someday , all of us have to drop rituals as we get close to enjoying the Universe as Her manifestation . Again, these are my personal views. With respect to all and their views Love gopi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
