Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 The ninth day of September is a very special day, because...it is Devi Spring's birthday! Dear Devi, your friends and family at the Devi Mandir went to the Devi Mandir Garden of Bliss and found a special Seed of Wisdom for you. Please accept this as our birthday gift on this beautiful day: (Shree Maa says:) " When we don't know what reality is, we become sad. Maya makes us sad. But that sadness is also not eternal, it's short-lived. In the meantime, we have to be good actors, never take it seriously. If you take it seriously, you're living in your head and unconditional love will never come to you. Pure love will never come to you, if you take yourself too seriously. I can't teach you too much, it will have to come from within. " (Living with the Soul, p.181) may you find laughter spontaneously welling up in your heart today and all days, Devi Mandir Birthday Club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
