Linda and all: to vish about the dance

[Guest guest]

Namaste: you are so right. The dance I have learned is not just the

dance of aarti, but the dance through life. And though I do get

caught up in the dance of drama and attachment, the sweet music of the

mantra brings me back into step with the flow of Mother.

Any way we view this creation, all the different beats and rhythms

that She plays for us are all helping us to learn and grow. Remember

when you learned a new dance step? Your feet had to be trained, and

your were clumsy, but soon you fell into step with the tune, and you

danced your heart out. It sometimes takes time to master the steps,

but it is worth the effort.

Sometimes Grace descends, and without any effort, we can dance eternity.

Yes, we have to give thanks everyday for Her lessons. We have to have

that faith that She is always there with us, in every particle of our

creation, in every beat of our heart, and every step we take. If we

have that faith, then life is an adventure, She unfolds for us exactly

what we need, when we need it. Absolutely true.

It is so amazing.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami.
