Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Namaste dear Shrikant I hope my assertion into your reply is not an intrusion in your correspondence with Chrism. My heart is touched by your challenge with tobacco. Shrikant i too use to be a smoker and remember well how it can flare an undercurrent of self abasement in one's practice and spiritual discipline. I was so glad to read your second email of your decision to affirm your participation in Shaktipat. dear Shrikant if all of us waited to take up spiritual transformation and awakening until we mastered all of our vasanas/bad tendencies we would be like the man that stands by the ocean shore waiting for the waves to subside before wading in. None of us would ever get wet. If we waited till we had made everything pure before entering the cleansing embrace of the Great Oceanic Mother our toenails would be curled and cracked. All of us experience or have experienced numerous festering wounds and each of us knows or have known the infliction of self-incrementation. I don't want that for you Shri. The only universal remedy i know is love, compassion and radical unconditional positive regard. Shrikant this is my heart's concern for you. I so hope you do not " police " yourself on this issue, for our path with K Ma is teaching us; realizing God is nothing but the ability, and expansiveness of heart, to love everything equally. If i had a magical wand this day i would not wisk away the addiction for tobacco, instead the wand and fairy dust with glowing sparkles would bring forth an eternal embrace of self-love; such as you, this very moment, now and forever beloved child of God/dess and radiant Being. Shri as i was thinking about your exchange with there was an old Christian song from my childhood that jingled the mind. So many of my old Christian beliefs have dissolved but the words in this song expresses a teaching my heart holds dear; the surrender to that which is Greater both within and without. For me the Lamb of God has been the Divine Mother and her KMa purification, my own discipline with its underlying base of " too much " or " not enough " has been puny and insubstantial but the surrender into That which is Greater, here I am home. Just as I Am, Without One Plea By: Charlotte Elliott Just as I am, without one plea But that thy blood was shed for me And that thou bidd'st me come to thee O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; Because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just a I am; thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Hymn # 359 from Lutheran Worship Author: William B. Bradbury Tune: Woodworth 1st Published in: 1836 I have not smoked for twelve years now, and the grace to overcome the tobacco addiction came in the form of a boom from a Priest (Bhattar) from Southern India. Like you i really had struggled with the addiction and when i realized that American tobacco companies were putting in over 500 different additives to ensure addiction i felt anger and there was deep resolve to renounce tobacco, but still it called my name and i was weak. Then I surrendered it at the temple at the Holy Feet of Ma Durga and Pundtji. That very night i experienced the allowance of healing prayer. It was such blessing; i quit cold turkey, did not go through any kind of withdraw, and have not had any desire to smoke. When it comes to addictions and other forms of vasanas the surrender into that which is Greater had been places to allow the discrimination between self and Self. I am learning that surrender ( just as i am, i am here ) holds such sweet paradox. The small self with all of its failures in grasping and attempting to let-go is also one of our greatest teachers. Failure is a natural part of life here on planet Earth. My failures based on the small self are ones i have needed for growth and have so often prompted me into deeper spiritual realms of compassion and acceptance of self and others. . Every failure brings a message of success, like little children who fall when learning to walk, we fail on our way to victory. " A master of Zen archery, Kobun Chino was asked to teach a course at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. The target was set up on a beautiful grassy area on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Kobun took his bow, notched the arrow, took careful aim, and shot. The arrow sailed high over the target, went past the railing, beyond the cliff, only to plunge into the ocean far below. Kobun looked happily at the shocked students and shouted, " Bull's eye!! " Joan Halifax Shrikant with the commitment of your practice, your commitment to love and service,( the safeties), your Guru within,your Guru in the form of Chrism, and K Ma you shall hit Bull's eye my friend. I don't know when but if you have not been able to give up smoking before you hit the Great Ocean the tobacco will lose its fire, so until that time love you and all. IMHO it seems that Shaktipat is the very thing that may be blessing of self to Self. I send warm regards for you in failure and success. In the rain and in the sunshine sparrow P.S. I have thought of you often since the bombing near the German Bakery. Many prayers for India and your city. I remember that you are from Pune? We did not receive indepth news of it here in the States. I have wondered why that location was chosen? If i am correct that is near Osho's ashram. Shrikant did the terrorist chose that location because of the spiritual location and to discourage Western devotees into India? I have heard some expressions of concern for other spiritual teachers and devotee sites in India and it brings sadness to my heart. May love and peace pervail. , shrikant phule <shrikantphule wrote: > > Dear Master Chrism, > > I wish to be included in coming Shaktipat. > > I have changed my mind after advice from a good friend of mine. > > I will be  posting my photograph, today for being in the list....................................................shrikant > > > > > ________________________________ > shrikant phule shrikantphule > > Mon, 8 March, 2010 9:26:18 AM > Re: > >  > Hi Chrism, > > I wanted to be included in Shaktipat, but as I am not able to detach from my vice of tobacco intake, I wish to postpone.I feel as I am not able to leave this dirty vice, it's of no use having Shaktipat. >  I am surrendering more to tobbaco which I know I should not......... ..shrikant > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Awesome! I would love a chance to tour as well. I will be meeting at the seminar but would love it for him and Bradley to pass through the Seattle area. I often daydream of just living out of a pack for the summer, just traveling. Reminds me of the times I had in youth before I dropped in to the big money making machine of life. I can easily live on next to nothing, foraging as I go along. On that note, I just returned from the forest with a bag full of fiddlehead ferns and a couple of Zeller's bolete mushrooms. I shall feast tonight!
