Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 vish worte: Namaste Linda and all family: In my experience, it takes concertedeffort to keep on the straight and narrow path. One makes a sankalpa,and so many different desires and emotions and thoughts arise to takeone's attention away from the commitment.However, the effects of repeating a mantra over and over, or chantingthe Chandi, etc, usually propel one through the distractions to victory.Keep going forward, Maa has told me this over and over. If you falldown, dust off, get up, and begin again. Don't beat yourself up, justthank God for the chance to begin again, and go forward. Maa is with us, and She knows we struggle with our ego, but, Shesupports us through thick and thin, and NEVER stops sending us loveand strength. Dear vish ~ thank you so much for writing this ... it is the Truth, and you say it so well and so simply. We are all very fortunate to have your insights ... I am sorry. This sounds a little more stilted than I would like ... I can't quite find the words, but my heart is full. I've been going through a very difficult time, and sharing Maa's words ~ to not give up, but dust off and keep going ~ really reached me. Another very wise person once told me that the way we learn, and what we have to show for our growth, are our skinned knees and bruises. We do fall down. It means so much to me to know what is happening at the Mandir, to be reading the digest again, and to be chanting. Again, my heartfelt thanks ~ LindaGet fantasy football with free live scoring.
