Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Dear Member, You have asked the very same question many times before and everytime, I tried to answer in a specific way but there would be no solution to this as such because mind by very nature wavers. Mind has goals and also other priorities. Upper-Mind is also tied down to a mind-body matrix, so by constant reference to mind wavering, you seem to ask hesitatingly about the component called 'lust', if I'm not terribly wrong and thus feel shy to basically ask this openly. A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall. Onlookers feared for his life. Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls. People asked him how he managed to survive. "I accommodated myself to the water, not the water to me. Without thinking, I allowed myself to be shaped by it. Plunging into the swirl, I came out with the swirl. This is how I survived." Try to go with the flow of the mind, don't try to overcome it by force or supress it.This concept has been beaten to death by many Gurus.I have nothing new to add here. What you need here, is not 'trying to be atleast a devotee of a Ambal' but just 'being yourself'.First, find yourself a proper Guru, then everything willbe alright, you cannot see yourself without a reflective surface like a mirror and a true Master is that mirror. Second, stick to that Master, do not flit between Masters or do Guru-shopping as they do here in the west. ''Devotee of Ambal'' is not some civil or career position you want to aspire for, it is a state which comes by being. Being true to yourself, with Sadhana, humility and allegiance to your path and Guru's words, not trying to act smart reading books and intellectualizing, having Athyantha-Bhakthi-Bhaavam for Ambal. If your mind is assailed by sexual thoughts, let it come and go like a river rapid, just see it, don't associate with it, don't feel any Ghrina(disgust),etc. Just be an observer.I know it is boring, but at the end of boredom there is fun.Trust me! And, at the end of fun, there is boredom. There you go! Valai-Bhuvaneshwari Amman(Child-yogic form of Mother Bhuvaneshwari) whom Bhogar worshipped.
