Eric and all: no one is an enemy

[Guest guest]

Namaste Eric and all: if we have Divine Eyes, we see Divinity. If our eyes are

clouded by maya, we will see division. If we see division, then we have to use

our discrimination and intuition to decide whether we have the strength to deal

with a negative person, or, it is simply better to leave them alone.

If we leave, we wish them well and know that God will take care of us and them.

Once a devotee said to Maa that he wanted to help so many people learn and grow

closer to God.

Maa responded that he should be content to help one or 2 sincere devotees.

Ramakrishna said to a devotee who wanted to build hospitals to help the poor,

that God will take care of them, that he should instead perform tapasya to grow

closer to God.

Maa herself does not seek to counsel thousands of folks. Instead she focuses

intently on those who are sincere and seek her out and demonstrate their

sincerity by performing tapasya as she taught them.

Once Maa said to me, that she stopped giving advice because no one was following

it.

Please take each of these examples to heart and meditate upon them, and discover

their meaning as it relates to your life and experiences and goals and pray that

Maa refines our vision and gives us Divine Eyes and pure devotion.

God will take care of everything

 

Jai Maa jai Swami

communion and recognition. How does this apply to our daily spiritual practices?

I suppose with consistent practice it is safe to think that at some point we

might get Sahaj samadhi where we can experience divine in ourselves and all, 

and even a person with seeming malicious intent towards us, if we can be in

union with the divine shakthi flowing within them, bowing to it with respect,

then they cannot and will not harm. But does that mean the snake will turn

around and bite everyone who has not achieved this state?.Is that why the snake

is there? To test the metal of our realisation?

friendship with a person when I learned their actions were those of snake, a

literal predator, who preys on the weak and vulnerable without conscience, who

now makes their living this way. I found myself very uncomfortable being in

their association. When I requested them  to please stop, develop a conscience

and do something good for the world, they refused to reconsider their stance on

harming others for personal gain.. I could not help but see them as a

troublesome influence from whom I must withdraw all support.  am I missing

something here? Am I in judgement, is it really an okay practice to hurt others

for your personal gain? How can I apply my daily spiritual practice to this

``snake``?  What can we learn from people like this? Has anyone else

experienced anything like this? How can I not see her as an enemy?

as God. This state is called Sahaj Samadhi. I bowed down to the snake and he

was very happy. Then I walked up the steps of the pond. When you are really

divine, everybody is your friend; nobody is your enemy.
