To sadvhi about Shree Maa tells a new story

[Guest guest]

Dear sadvhi ~ it seems I am getting all the best and clearest messages

regarding my situation this morning as I try to catch up on the digests.

Everything you wrote seems so pertinent, not just to my immediate circumstance, of

course, but to our lives overall. "...with trust in the ultimate goodness of

what lies beneath the surface...," and "...with a sense of humor (most of all

about ourselves)...," seem especially relevant to me. If I can embrace these I

may be able to see my mother, and interact with my family, after all. I pray

it is so, because I do not want my mother to die without seeing her again. Jai

Maa ~ Linda

P.S. I missed the digest the story was in, and if anyone can tell me which

number it was, or if it is on the website, I would love to go read it.

"As we would serve God"...means, to me...with gratitude, with

constancy, with attention, with devotion, with a clear mind, with

humility and as much 'self-awareness' as we are capable of in each

moment, without clinging onto the "highs" or drowning in the "lows",

with courage to embrace the stripping away of our own attachments

and desires , with trust in the ultimate goodness of what lies

beneath the surface , with acceptance of "what is" as being the best

opportunity, with a sense of humor ( most of all about ourselves),

with a sense of "allowing" rather than an attempt to control, with

flexibility rather than rigidity, with the understanding (even if it

is only in the mind at first) that we are ALREADY that which we long

for and so is every other part of Creation.
