Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Namaste Ultimately, what can we do? Do we control our heart rate, or blood pressure, or make our hair grow, or stop thoughts in our mind? Who control these things? Certainly not " little ole me " . Now, if I do not control anything, not my own birth, or my death, then how can I " control " surrender or attachments to things and family, etc.? So, who does control all these events and circumstances? If not I, then someone else? Maa and Swami teach that Divine Mother controls all. She is all, everything, the totality. Everything is Her desire. So, we do what we are told by our Gurus, have faith in the teachings of our Gurus, and She will take care of it all. The " when and how of surrender and loosening of our attachments " , that will be taken care of by her in Her time. If we fill the time we have been given with mantras and prayer and puja and song, and our daily responsibilities which Maa gave us, then all will be taken care of by Her. We are so blessed to be having this discussion as it reminds us of the True Reality.
