Wendy: Mandir web cam is working

[Guest guest]

Namaste Wendy: Thanks for posting from your heart. I truly

understand how difficult it can be to be away from Maa. That said,

you refused to surrender to the ego and made the effort to stay tuned

to Her in your heart. Sure we know She is always there, but we do

forget. But She never forgets, She never goes away, She is amazing.

She is our Guru. She brings the Light to dispel the darkness.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami

Namaste Vishweshwar,

 

Your remark about the the ego is interesting, and I

resonate with it, however, when I spoke to one of my

friends who I believe does not understand the pitfalls

of ego, and mentioned Sri Maa's remark that " Ego is

the enemy of wisdom. Ego can make you fall' to try to

help him negate some of the impulsive drives he was he

experiencing, he just responded by saying " Embrace the

Ego as God already " and that he is no " hindu

purusha/prakriti dualist' as if to say that viewing

the ego as seperate from God is just a perverse form

of inane dualism. Ego must have been created by God,

but just because God creates something, does that make

God's creation equal with God? I replied to my friend

that I would not embrace the ego as God already, as

that is simply not my experience of the ego, and I

much prefered to receive the grace of Maa that slices

and dices away at persona imbalances such as inflated

pride, ignorace and pomposity. What do Swami and Maa

have to say about this idea that ego is God already?

Much Love, Jai Maa! Jai Svami,

Eric
