on the path of surrender- and a thank you

[Guest guest]

Seems I am on the path of surrender.

Swamaji is so right when he says the thoughts, the thoughts, oh the

thoughts in ones head... they never end... but Goddess came tame

them. Sometimes life just goes where it wills and I feel like I'm

on a path where there is nothing to do but surrender to the

Goddess. That is the best place to be I suppose, for if I have to

surrender at least it is into her hands. All the rest is an

illusion is seems, for how much control do we really have in the

world of maya? she can transform the samasara to joy! She is the

one that carries us all across the ocean of samsara. Praise Be To

Goddess for her loving power! I keep remembering those words of the

story of the woman who just walks across the water, and after the

sage tries to follow he only sinks, because he forgets to chant the

Goddess' name and he is concerned for the things of this word,

noticing he robe getting wet, and his eyes are leaving the Goddess

and focusing on his problems.

 

How else can we get across the ocean of samsara but by focusing our

eyes on the Goddess and simply chanting her name as we proceed in

this crazy life/existant. How simple it is, yet we make it so

difficult. Sometimes when we are in the midst of it all, just doing

japa and repeating her name, we can focus all our concentration on

her, and in surrendering to Her and Her power we find, She Carries

Us Across All Our Difficulties.

 

Thank you Shree Maa, Swamaji and all for your lessons, so important

and needed and so freely you share with us out of love. You are

truly not in it for profit but your hearts are genuine. I bow to

you in great respect and thank you for tutoring me in the path of

the heart way.
