Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Namaste Tonight Swami touched on one point which really struck my heart. He spoke about the effect that Shakti, Mother, had on Male-Discrimination in the story of the Sundarkan. The male principle was taking a very rigid and harsh course of action. War and ruin were likely. Discrimination paused to review the situation, and ponder if there could be a different course of action. As he pondered, his Mother, suggested a completely different course of action. One which completely changed the balance of power and brought a new perspective to the situation. Swami continued,....Just a fluid soft water, dripping onto rock can wear it away, or blowing wind can move the Himalayas, so can soft shakti have a profound effect on the more rigid male psyche. As Swami said, the shakti, leads the male from behind. So true. I recalled the countless times my wife had quietly suggested some course of action contrary to my notion, and lo and behold, she was right. She, fluid as water, soft as the wind, wears down my rock hard ego. Yet, sometimes firm committment, the sankalpa of Shiva, is needed to fulfill a goal or accomplish a task. Then shakti supports and uplifts as Shiva dances His dance of change. Shakti and Shiva, the eternal dance. Swirling round and round the chakra of a balanced relationship. Ultimately both are needed for successful life. Jai Maa Jai Swami vishweshwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
