I saw an ascetic come to beg, white teeth and small matted curls. I followed on his heels and held his hand, he who goes breaking all bounds and beyond.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Henny sent this excerpt, "Listen, sister, listen. I had a dream....." Yes! Once I too had a dream.. Or did I ?? Late one summer night, while on a rare and precious visit to the Ashram, I sat by the Holy fire in the temple fulfilling a sankalp I had taken for the period of my stay there. The day had skipped by in other wonderous acitivities. So there I sat chanting His name, turning my Mala beads, yawning and talking to Him all at once "are you there, are you listening, do you ever listen, what am I doing this for, I should go to sleep. No I cant, Ma said fulfill your sankalpa. Oh Shiva help me, my problems and all...blah.. blah.." In the stillness of the night and that I was there all by myself, the chanting got louder and so did the chatter in my head. Suddenly He was there, grey as the ash in the Hawan Kund. Huge and all encompassing. "I am always there", He said. I just sat there stunned, mouth open, ...and very silent, no thought, no words, staring. I simply sat their in total silence within and without, for a very long time. Much time elapsed before the remaining Mantras were uttered. Next morning I wanted to ask Ma about it, but didn't.. She seemed to know and then I never spoke about it... henny_v_i <henny_v_i > wrote: 'Listen, sister, listen. I had a dream I saw rice, betel, palmleaf and coconut.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 That was very beautiful, Neelima. You are wise to have kept it in your heart. Probably Mother saw your struggles and gave you that grace out of her boundless compassion. She gives the BEST presents, doesn't she? Jai Maa!
