Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Dear Kishore,Interesting question! Was meditating on I am That by Nisargadatta Maharaj and this question was posed. To summarize his reply, it is the fact that you exist that proves the existence of God/Maa and not the other way around, for without you to ask the question God/Maa cannot exist. The proof of Maa is the very light by which you ask the question. The spark of being that affirms "I am " in any state of mind, be it waking, dreaming, or sleeping, or that which is beyond, the only constant is "I am." You were neither created nor destroyed, you were never born and you will never die, you simply are eternally. This whole world of fluctuating names and forms, thought and non-thought, is simply the appearance of Maya, the changeless absolute is your equanimous true nature. This world of perception is a waking dream, an unreal stage, an iridescent drop within the ocean of consciousness, upon which you are not the doer but the witness, upon which you ride the waves having the journey of highs and lows, ups and downs, towards a definitive destination, and that is to know yourself, everywhere and everywhen, ever present, always changeless amidst all change.Namaste,Eric --- On Thu, 5/21/09, Joan Fisher <mjfisher2005 wrote:Joan Fisher <mjfisher2005Re: [www.ShreeMaa.org] A quick question for all Received: Thursday, May 21, 2009, 9:40 AM Thank you for asking this question, Kishore.

I read Sri Devi Bhagavatam and I enjoyed it. But after reading I became sad and disappointed for one thing. My question is WHY MAA CREATED THIS WHOLE DRAMA/UNIVERSE/ HUMANS/YUGAS/ AND ABOVE ALL MAYA.Why MAA WANTED TO CREATE THIS MAYA?Can Brahma Vishnu Maheshwar answer? I read in Devi Mahatyam that even these three great Lords chant Maya Sakthi.Can any human, any king, any Rushi, any lord revealed the secret of this Maya.Everywhere we all praised the Maa because she saves us from problems and we love her but no body argued with her.We call someone mother when she gives birth. Our Mother gave birth to entire universe. Our Mother Durga / Chamundeshwari are everything for us.If I ask my mother why she gave birth to me then she says that she got married and she want be happy with her children. But our main mother Maya sakthi/Durga/ Chamunda gave birth to entire creation. Is it just for her happiness? Just to see our mother happy are we all praying to her. Well, it's true. However, how far it is ethical to create such a creation with her Maya sakthi and asking everyone to praise her. No doubt we all are slaves to her. I love to be because there is no other way to lead our life's happily.My question is what is she going to get by all these things? Just happiness... I doubt is she independent or not. I doubt is she not sadistic by creating and demolishing. Why to create this body and why death? Why to give wealth and why to take it back? Why to give happiness and why not only happiness. Why to give choice if Good and bad? Why not only good. Why to create this many yugas. Why not always Satya Yuga? Why to disappoint us with this many questions?Why did she create us? What provoked her to create this all universe?I am a devotee of Maa so kindly do not misunderstand or curse me for this question. Kindly provide your beautiful views.Note: I am not asking different ways or one way to worship Maa. Kindly understand my question and tell me if any one knows the answer.My prayer to Maa.Oh mother you are the universe, you are kind and sweetest mother for allOh Mother I am not gifted to understand your mindI am living in ignorance and sometimes misunderstood with your MayaOh Maya Devi kindly give me Wisdom and Courage to know you completelyThanks,M.Kishore Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 What you ask cannot be grasped with the mind, but only realized in the spirit in the silent temple of the heart where time, duality and distance doesn't exists. You have to expereince that directly another cannot do it for you only point you in the right direction. Silence the mind seek union with the divine " Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights. But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge. You would know in words that which you have always known in thought. You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams. And it is well you should. The hidden well-spring of your soul must needs rise and run murmuring to the sea; And the treasure of your infinite depths would be revealed to your eyes. But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure; And seek not the depths of your knowledge with staff or sounding line. For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, " I have found the truth, " but rather, " I have found a truth. " Say not, " I have found the path of the soul. " Say rather, " I have met the soul walking upon my path. " For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself like a lotus of countless petals.
