Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Namaste, Everyone On Saturday, Shree Maa and Swamiji read and translated from M's diary, the Kathamrita. Ramakrishna was speaking as if Radha speaking to her friends about her love for Krishna, why she did not have tears. It was lovely poetry--paraphrasing, "In your heart is a burning fire (of longing for Krishna, for the Divine Lord). Water comes to your eyes, but it dries up immediately from the fire in your heart." So beautiful! Our quiet, deep longing for God may go unnoticed by all outside of us, but we can feel its burning in our hearts. It is there, between ourselves and the Divine. In that same talk, Maa (so sweetly!) sang a song I believe Narendra sang also, about Kali. In that song, he asked "How do we find the end of Infinity? Her eyes are so expansive... You see Her once, and you have no more sorrow, no more pain. Where is the end of Her? This is the question that contronts us all." Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi stephanie, My first response was "a direct one". Just ask. Keep your position of humility, but act. Mother already knows her children's needs. She is continually giving her blessings to all.
