Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Reading this, I am curious, respectfully... What does this mean, exactly? That women must practice purity for man to become pure? Why not also men? And what does it mean, the practice of purity? shanti shanti -sundari On 1/17/07, shreemaadevotee (AT) aol (DOT) com <shreemaadevotee (AT) aol (DOT) com> wrote: > > Daily Reflection > January 17 - Purity > > For man to become pure women must practice purity, then they can transform > the world through their purity. > > from *Gems of Wisdom from Shree Maa and Swami Satyananda Saraswati > *Copyright 1998 Devi Mandir Publications > www.shreemaa.org > > -- ------- erin (AT) erinjohansen (DOT) com www.erinjohansen.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 This is a hard one, Sundari. You know, of course, that we are all connected. How much more connected are husband and wife, who share the same physical, mental and emotional space day in and day out. What one does, affects the other, for good or ill. It is my belief (you are free to disagree ) that women naturally tend more toward purity than men; purity is easier, more natural, for women than for men. I think the purity considered here is mostly purity of heart and mind, characterized by love, compassion, caring, and devotion - exactly those characteristics valued most in devotees. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 IMHO, I interpret Maa's teaching that, how women live their lives will have a dramatic effect on the men in their lives. Women embody the Divine Mother more than any other being on this planet, and so have the energy of transformation within themselves. If women are pure and living by the highest spiritual ideals, then the men in their lives really have no choice but to be transformed by thier shakti. Jai Maa !
