As always, Swami states what seems very complicated in eloquent, concise terms that are impossible to misconstrue. Once when I wrote Swamiji of how hard my illness was and that I didn't even know what to do ... kind of like towards the end of the Chandi where the chapter starts out saying: I don't even know how to worship you... What should I do? Wah! (Well that part wasn't in my question for Swamiji.) He wrote the most wonderful thing, and I never forget it: thank Mother for the privilege of being part of her glorious creation. Wow! It still helps me when I remember to remember it. : / :::arf::: Jai Maa, Jai Swamiji!!!! Linda 'tGas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
