Benevolence

[Guest guest]

Dear Everyone, thank you so much for your responses to my questions

about world peace..

to Sushuddha, for sharing your story about your friend who survived

the Rwandan atrocities, and for your vision of yoga and justice work

as two parts of one movement, becoming a fountain of blessing for the

three worlds and the Divine...

to Vishweshwar, for sharing Swamiji's prayers of filling the whole

world w/ pure devotion through all of us

to Kalianda, for the reminder to surrender to Divine Mother's will

& leave the doing to Her

to Chris, for the article link which satisfies the proof seeker in

me and for the comfort of " because Maa and Swamiji said so " which

helps the proof seeker to take a long needed NAP...

and to Sal, for your beautiful reminder of the ripple effect of

living completely in the light, & your faith in Mother Earth

transcending.

 

You all are the harmonized voice of Divine Mother coming through to

my Heart, and you have led me back to the first portion of Chandi

that I fell in love with when I read it for the first time:

 

" Why is it that your one glance does not reduce all thoughts to

ashes? So that being purified by the weapons these thoughts may be

raised to the higher worlds. You are so benevolent that you think

for the welfare of even your enemies.

 

If your sword's light and the foremost dazzling radiance from your

pike did not blind the eyes of the thoughts, the reason was that they

also saw the rays of light like the glow of the moon, the Giver of

Bliss, in perceiving the vision of your beautiful face.

 

Oh Goddess, your inclination is to eradicate the faulty conduct of

the wicked. With the vision of your form, no other concept may be

contemplated, as no other similar exists. Hence your strength and

prowess in slaying these thoughts who were destroying the power of

the Gods. Thus you manifest your compassion to the enemies. " Ch 4,

vs 19-21

 

Many blessings, Jennifer
