a very sublime statement, and comes at a right time, I

will be grateful if the learned members who have been

sharing their knowledge also share their personal

experiences (adhering to the guidelines of the

list)This will be highly motivating for novices like

me.

Sub : DEVI'S GRACE

 

 

The upasana starts with the MIND and ends as Intelligence in the HEART -- That

is DEVI"S GRACE.

 

Now let us examine this statement -- if the upasana starts with the mind and

ends with the mind what could happen without the grace of Devi.

 

The mind always clings to the known because it is constantly seeking security

and certainty. the mind's very nature is fixed in the known, in time and how can

such a mind whose very foundation is based on the past on time experience the

TIMELESS. The unknown can come into being only when the known is understood,

dissolved and put aside. For this one needs the grace of Devi -- because the

moment you have an experience of anything the mind translates it into terms of

the known and reduces it to the past. therefore such knowledge itself is an

hindrance.

 

Conditioning of the conscious mind as per the past experiences or to a thing

known is a problem by itself because that conscousness is always of the past and

never of the present, though you may think so.If you watch closely the

consciousness functions between the past and the future and never the present.

the present is merely a passage of the past to the future. This condition is at

variance as per the declaration of our scriptures that says that " you are

ALWAYS ABSOLUTE , BLISS and CONSCIOUSNESS "

 

This mental condition again can not be over come through analysis because the

moment you are the analyser that very analyser himself is part of the background

and is of least significance because you would make assertions and denials and

implies in its very essence the background in different forms.

 

So the mind must be NEW -- uncontaminated by the past to discover DEVI or the

TRUTH. Here the DEVI showers Her grace on the aspirant by removing this

limitation of mind and Reveals Herself in the SELF.

 

That is why such spititual experiences are beyond words that can express it --

as the moment you try to express it you are only working at the mind level.

 

So when one starts the upasana , if he tries to logically argue and find fault

with the limitation of mind and the procees of upasana itself, he would reach no

where and that is where ' FAITH " plays an important role.

 

In Devi sapthasathi the mantra says ( 5th chapter ) -- " Salutations to Her who

abides in all beings in the form of faith ". -- Ya devi sarva butheshu Shraddha

rupena samsthitha.

 

When you commence the upasana with an unshakable faith with the mind -- that

would lead you to the perception of the REAL SELF -- Rishies who addresses it as

" DEVI AS ONE WHO RESIDES in them AS INTELLIGENCE IN THE HEART -- The DM says

SARVASYA BHUDDHI RUPENA JANASYA HRDI SAMSTHITHE ".

 

By Devi's grace alone this would happen and NOT due to efforts of the MIND.
