" Having understood, one should commence and practice it; by not performing, it

will perish "

Chandi Path, Kilakam, vs.11)

 

" You don't say, " Just because I didn't automatically fall in love at first

sight, I'm not going to try anymore. " You take the small inspiration you do get

and cultivate it. Try to put yourself in the position of a lover instead of

waiting to be loved. First you become the lover, and after a while you become

the beloved.

(Before Becoming This, p.271)

 

" I saw nobody, except for man who brought me groceries once a week. I had no

phone, no TV, no radio, no newspaper, no magazine. I didn't talk to anybody. I

had only the Chandi, some scriptures and some books on philosophy. That was my

life for three years in Rishikesh. I loved it! "

(Before Becoming This, p.108)

 

" In whatever direction are situated the respected Guru's pair of feet, oh

Beloved, everyday one should bow down in that direction "

(Guru Gita, p.50)

 

" I will accept with love all acts of worship, offerings and fire sacrifices,

whether performed with understanding or without it "

(Chandi Path, Ch.12, vs.11)

 

may our practice be filled with joy and delight and may our Divine Mother be

pleased,
