Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 In the Sanskrit language Durgam means Confusion, and Durga takes away confusion. Chandi is name of the Goddess who Tears Apart Thoughts. The Chandi Path relates the battle between the Asuras, the forces of duality and darkness, and the Devas, or forces of unity and light. Asuras are the thought forms which increase the selfishness of an individual and lead him or her into divisive action. They are the voices within each person which proclaim that it is possible to do a little bit less in any given circumstance. Devas are the forces which inspire the surrender of selfishness and expand the bonds of unity into a cohesive expression of divinity. In the Chandi Path, the Devas unite in prayer to the divine energy of the universe. In response, the Divine Mother puts Too Much and Too Little into balance. She bestows the wisdom which destroys Self-Conceit and Self-Deprecation as well as other generals in the army of the Great Ego, such as Anger, Passion, Greed, Irresistible Temptation, and Arrogance, until, ultimately, the Great Ego surrenders and becomes a servant of God. No longer need the Great Ego tolerate the burdens of life, but may rejoice in the privilege of demonstrating pure love through every action. The Chandi Path is rare publication because of its awareness of the application of scripture to spiritual seekers today. The story is transformed from a battle in ancient mythology to one which is ongoing in every individual everyday. It is a road map from the confusions of duality into the heart of divine reality, which is termed as the Divine Mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
