Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Question from Steve :- Regarding the Chandi Path, chapter 3 ... this is a great battle the manifested Goddess takes with Sir Ego. It is very graphic; it is clearly a struggle, and there is also a clear victor. In this struggle, the Goddess is visualized as calm, aloof, and wielding her many weapons with ease ... in other verses she is described as so angry, furious, she is even stuttering ... Swamiji, what is the meaning of this anger? Is the Goddess beyond anger, or is that phrase "beyond anger" not useful, or misunderstood? Is there righteous anger? Or does this mean, we can galvanize our own purpose by summoning a force that is akin to anger but without the negative subjectivity and karmic results usually associated with anger? Thank you, for helping me to understand the intent here. Swamiji's response :- When we reach to Her status then we will understand what is Her anger. I believe it is more akin to forceful, determined, undeterred, not willing to compromise with negativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Swamiji, Yes, thank you, one will know all when one knows God. Perhaps emerging from a dispassion, purpose, and an extraordinarily refined virtue ...
