Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thank you Vishweshwar for this very beautiful post. It reminded me of years ago when I got a brief description of Goddess Kali something about the description of this Goddess made me long for more but I could not find any thing of substance or at least not the substance that this soul needed. Through constant digging, I found a picture of the Goddess on the net, blew it up, laminated it and would dance and sing the one bhajan that i knew at times crying or laughing for no reason other than feeling happy to look at the Goddess and dance with Her (photo). Then Daughter of the Goddess was loaned to me, a book which today is still with me, the medium where I first learnt of Beloved Shree Maa. I had absolutely no knowledge that this type of worship existed. When the longing is deep enough, Guru comes in whatever form is necessary.

If you are unable to maintain the absorption of your consciousness in Me, then wish to reach Me by the practice of Union. If you are incapable of practice, then do actions for Me. By performing Actions for Me you will attain perfection." Bhagavad Gita Swami Satyananda Saraswati Devi Mandir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 This verse seems to be a beautiful statement of what is. The doer is free of attachment. The doer has consistent enthusiasm. The doer remains unaffected in success and failure. The doer is called of the quality of light. Whenever we experience these characteristics, we can know that we have stripped away all pretense and are living from the place of the doer rather than the ego. We already are this. What a great blessing is ours to ask Maa to open the curtains and allow the quality of light to flood our awareness with what already is. Jai Maa!
