Bhakti and Jnana

[Guest guest]

 

Bhakti is strange. Other places in the world with

people come together,

but what I have found I hold alone on this distant

shore.

 

I came across the aspects of Bhakti and Jnana when

discovering the Gita.

Then finding Vivekanandas books (one thick, one thin

my conclusion was Bhakti was a lesser path.

 

Later in life I was taken by surprise.

And as this came as a long series of events there was

no choice.

From what my teacher had said about the nature of the

mind the response was of course discrimination.

 

In a period of 18 years there was only once an

encouragement from her and then back to a total indifference.

If any response to experiences it would be referring

to impermanence.

 

And the result was a ‘minimalistic’

Bhakti and then the presence of Devi in a certain form.

After a while I began to wonder, why this way of

appearing, why this form.

So in the last year I felt I had to speak about this

matter saying only this;

It has been there day and night for more than 5

years.

 

She gave me an instruction that was the most

incredibly simple one ever.

When I sat down in the evening exactly what she said

happened.

 

And the strange situation when seeing her again,

so utterly meaningless were words I could not mention

it.

 

 

This is actually the explanation to the two short

verses in the page below.

It they carry any meaning at all.

Limitation belongs to the individual mind.

The riches and the power of the universe have no end.
