Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 I am so in love with the Goddess and realize I always was. I realize now that no human love can fulfill or satisfy, as Hindu scriptures say, the senses only wind up creating pain and need, in the form of desire, but I seem to have no desire any more for those things, for I know where they leave, to attachment, mostly to people attached to me and unhappy because they realize I can not fulfill them, and think I am supposed to, when it is only the Goddess who can fulfill, and I knew that all along, but seems strange that so many are looking for human love when it only seems to bring pain. Yes, I'd love for someone to help me raise my children and human companionship, but with relationships come so many problems it seems, with getting along, etc. and the disappointment of another not meeting unfulfilled needs. It is because we look for the Goddess in others and she is one in and of herself. I was doing the 108 names the other day, and got to more than 50 when the Goddess said, "Yes? I'm right here. You dont'have to call me so hard. Is your heart really into it." and she made me see that sometimes sadhana is for our benefit really, to connect with her, and more than once, infact often, she has told me that she is right here and I don't need all the amenities of worship, statue, special prayers to recite, ceremonies, etc. I was so worried back then, feeling alone and wondering how I would be able to connect with her, not knowing any mantras, etc. I prayed. It is like in Linda Johnsen's book Living Goddess. When I prayed and just called from my heart, Goddess was there. Such a blessing. I wonder why others don't seem to be able to understand this love, or connection, or feel the accessibility to which I feel her, often present. I realize I have to live in samadhi, constant meditation. There is too much fear in the world and I tend to be overly anxious being a parent especially. I am so grateful that she allows us this constant companionship, connection and love, so unlike human relationships, she is always loving and selfless, thinking of us and available to us for our every need, listening and caring, she takes us into her arms and protects and loves us, the perfect partner. How could anyone else compair to the Goddess. They just can't. I bow to the blessed Shree Maa and Swamaji and thank them for bringing me even close to the Goddess and those that love her. Thank you. Jai Santoshi Ma! -td Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
