Guest guest Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 NAMASTE Dear Kali, a pure heart and mind can see divinity everywhere. It is all about being open and ready for the experience. I observe that you seek God with all your heart. You seek to glorify God with your every action, from the gross physical level - performing seva, to the metaphysical level- chanting mantras. Thus, your entire focus of your heart and mind is on experiencing the unity of the soul. If that is your focus, then that is what you will experience. Maa trains us in every way so that we can experience that we are one with Her always: that we are all one Soul I reflect on all the methods She has taught us: She reminds us to keep the mind on mantra as much as possible, to see Shiva inside every person, to serve Shiva in each person, to remember that the guest is God, and even that each tool we use to eerve is a part of God. What an amazing gift She has given us: reminding us on all levels of creation that God is present, and that we are one with God. We have only to surrender to Her, have faith in Her, and obey Her. What else is there?
