Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Namaste: Have faith that Maa will supply everything in the right time, in the right amount, to bring us to God. With that faith, march forward, and never look back. It is the faith born of countless experiences of Her Grace in our lives. It is the faith born of the stories of the great Sages and Rishis of the past who reached the Goal and turned to lend a helping hand and whose influence still resonates today in the great songs and books and prayers of Divine Longing Fulfilled. It is the faith and trust shining in a baby's eyes when it sees Mother. WE have living proof daily that God has answered our prayers: Shree Maa came to us and took our hands in Hers, and leads us Home.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Namaste Vishweshwar and All! I really appreciate the message you communicated about Maa loving us, even if we are soiled with our own filth and hopelessly undisciplined, floundering in the frays of chaos. That's how I have felt for the first part of these nine days. I didn't know how I was going to make it. As you so well stated, the ego is constantly questioning, undermining, insisting its needs are important than doing Maa's sadhana. On Tuesday morning before my midterm I groveled for some help from Maa and Swami and flew by he seat of my pants after the exam. I was in a total daze, forgot a formula, and somehow managed to answer most of the statistics exam, albeit I was just letting the Divine answer and trusting, that is until I got out of the exam and doubted everything I had written. I went into a deep state of self-frustration, and self-pity...the asuras were having a hay day. I went home and saw swami dripping ghee into the fire, and I was in such a state I began to mope ' Swami here you are putting ghee of clarity into the fire, and when I asked for help, my brain crashed, you could have offered some spiritual ghee into my brain...wahhhh! poor me' It was a high moment for the ego, and I was very exasperated with all these thoughts. It was then that suddenly I felt very calm and rather remorseful of my outburst at Swami, even if I was thousands of miles away. Suddenly, I felt Shree Maa very strongly, and I felt her telling me 'just relax, Im helping.' It was then that I started doing the durga sankalpa mantra and the peace was really a gift of grace. It helps and continues to help so much. We are all so fortunate to be within the circle of Divine Grace and Compassion, Jai Shree Maa, Jai Swami Satyananda Ki Jai! -Eric --- inspectionconnection108 <inspectionconnection108 wrote: > Namaste: Have faith that Maa will supply everything > in the right > time, in the right amount, to bring us to God.
