Husband and wife-Becoming Shiva and Shakti

[Guest guest]

Namaste all: There is a wonderful verse, I cannot remember which text

it comes from, but I will paraphrase it: " Oh Lord, give me a wife who

can lead me across the ocean of objects an relationships. "

Maa has blessed my wife and I and charged us with becoming an " ideal

couple " . During the 11 years we have know Her, we have worked hard to

unfold this reality in our daily lives. Through thick and thin, this

concept has kept us united and made us stronger than we could ever

have imagined.

I would like to explore this concept with each of you. Tell me what

this means to you and how you and your spouse have grown using the

wisdom and guidance of Divine Gurus.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami

Namaste Vish,

 

Thanks for proposing this meditation on the second to

last verse of the Athargaala stottrum. The wife must

be in harmony with the mind and the changes of mind in

order to lead the way across the ocean of objects and

their relationships. If you do not yet have an

external spouse, I think it could mean that one's

internal relationship with Shakthi must be in harmony

with one's mind/consciousness. That the consciousness

must be lead by a wholesome sattvic luminous perfected

Shakthi. No matter what difficulties one might

encounter in the mind, the Shakthi can point the right

way for the family( could mean physical family or

internal mind family, Manas, Chitta, Buddhi, Ahamkara)

to move across the ocean of samsara, the ocean of

objects and their relationships, the many to the one,

and the one to the many. When instead of the ahamkara

agrandising out balance leads, the minds gets into

further disharmony, but when Maa leads, she is the

perfect wife, and takes across the ocean, leading

without leading. This leads to greater integration and

love between the mind and shakthi, and for the whole

family.

Jai Sri Maa, Jai Sri Swami,

Eric
