Advanced Shiva Puja, Verse 2, Part 2 {p. 6}

[Guest guest]

Namaste all family: in the Advanced Shiva Puja text, in the foreword,

verse 2, part 2, says: " Whenever possible seek out the company of the

true and knowledgeable people, and serve the sandals of their lotus

feet, and ask from them even one letter of the knowledge of Brahman

and listen to the great words of wisdom from the Vedas.

Dear family, It is Supreme Grace indeed which has lead each of us to

know Maa and Swami, and the other Masters on the Earth at this time.

These pure souls have incarnated at the Lord's behest, and because we

have prayed and begged for guidance to regain our Divine Status.

Now that we know they exist, how sweet it is to seek out the feet of

the Master and serve them. Those who have made pilgrimage the Mandir

and served Maa and Swami personally have shared their experiences of

the Grace which descends upon them.

And, we know that they can be served from a distance as well. Here are

a few ways: performing the sadhana as they have taught us, viewing

the classes Swami teaches on-line, reading the texts they have

translated, interacting in this club, praying to them for guidance,

performing work in the world as if you were serving them-seeing God in

everyone and everything, and performing selfless action-renouncing the

fruits of our labors.

This is service to Maa and Swami, and to the tradition of Masters

harking back to Lord Shiva, and to the Guru Principle-the Divine

Energy guiding us to Union with the Divine.

Living our life this way will bring the highest Bliss and Grace.

When we truly serve them, surrendering our entire selves at their

lotus feet, then hearing even one letter of the knowledge of Brahman,

one will enter into union with the Divine.

Remember what Ramakrishna said so many times:.... " take one step

towards God, and He will run towards you. "

Dear family, it is all up to us. The Masters await our pleas and

prayers for help and guidance and they will move Heaven and Earth to

help us to reach the Goal of all Goals.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami
