Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 The 2nd day of September is a very special day, because.....it is Shankari Kali's birthday! Dear Shankari Kali, all your friends and family at the Devi Mandir are celebrating today that you have come into this world. From the exhaustless wealth stored in Ramakrishna's Treasure House we have picked this Gem of Wisdom to present to you as a token of our love and appreciation: " If you have devotion to the lotus feet of the Lord even once, if you really enjoy singing the names and qualities of God, then you don't have to try and make an effort to control your senses. The limitations of the mind come under control of their own accord. Someone is grieving for their children. When they are in the midst of that grief, will they think of going to argue with their neighbor? Would they think to go and accept an invitation to a party or festival? Would they go walking around with a lot of ego with their head held high up in the air? No, during the time of grief, that kind of behavior is not possible. When the moth is attracted to the light, will they go towards the darkness? No. " may you be attracted to the Divine Light always, Devi Mandir Birthday Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
