Chandi Path :- The introductory pages .

[Guest guest]

The Introduction to the Chandi , written by Swami Satyananda

Saraswati, is my inspiration - it is four pages, but seems to answer

all my questions/frustrations and is guaranteed to produce one result

EVERYTIME I read it.

 

The result - I am once again inspired and renewed to give all my

troubles, thoughts, frustrations to HER.

 

Here is an excerpt of what I read today

 

"Look at the reality of our lives, at our goals and aspirations.

There are many among us who have no vision of the future. We are

caught in a paradox of working to survive and surviving to work.

Somehow a sense of boredom, frustration and futility has taken over

our entire being. We find no lasting satisfaction, no sustaining

pleasure, no all inclusive delight. Again when we find oursleves

avidly pursuing some goal, we are constantly in strife. Our minds are

harnessed to the thought without our control. A continual anxiety

prevails in which the vision of success or failure recurs to us day

and night.

 

Look at these thoughts. How many of them bear significance in the

cosmic reality? How many of them are such transient and petty desires

that we ourselves cant remember them even after a few hours or a few

days , not to speak in the context of the history of civilizations ,

or the evolution of man , or the origin of the universe.

 

What delusion has possessed us, and how do we go about purifying the

ego so as to get rid of this bondage, so we can maintain our divine

perception as Gods and Goddesses in the Garden of Bliss?

 

IN THE DURGA SAPTASATI MOTHER SHOWS US HOW TO DO JUST THAT: GIVE THEM

ALL TO HER.

 

The CONTINUAL RECITATION OF THIS BOOK (CHANDI PATH) IS DESIGNED TO

ACCOMPLISH THIS "

 

Here is the deal the Goddess is giving me, "Dump all your negativity

on ME" , she says, "And I will cut them one by one, until you too

become one with Intuitive vision "

 

What a deal !!!! Too good to miss.
