Guest guest Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Namaste: another excellent class Friday night with Swami and Maa giving knowledge and darshan. An important teaching for me was being reminded that as we process towards our goal, at times we will fall. But, each time, we can pick ourselves up, dust off, and begin again. No need to chastise ourselves. It is the nature of this world that we will fall sometimes. I was raised that when we " sin " , we have to suffer and repent. We have to feel sorry and sad. But this teaching was so simple and so sublime. By recognizing and accepting that we all forget our innate divinity, that is is Maa's will that we do so, then, when we re-awaken, instead of sorrow and sadness, we thank Maa for the lesson She gave us, and we reassert our desire to fulfill our highest ideal of perfection, and chant Her name again. It gives me such a profound sense of hope and renews and strengthens my faith. Maa is my Mother, She is always, and ever has been, my Mother. In every situation She is teaching and offering lessons to guide me towards Union with my Highest Ideal: Her. How incredible. How blessed we all are. Please share your feelings and questions from class. Swami would love the feedback. Jai Ma Jai Swami vishweshwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
