Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 >>>Here is something that Maa was telling me that I would like to adopt as my definition of spirituality. She said - "Life is simple. Just think 'I am God's child' " . I have been internalizing those words and find them very useful in every situation that I am in. Helps me think of the right word to say and the right thing to do. Jai Maa ! I am God's child and so are you !<< Well...this is just becoming a PATTERN now! Everyday, if I have a question I am struggling with, I read something here that provides the answer...the combination of Maa's words above and The Song of the Holy Fools has completely answered a very deeply-rooted question I have been working on for the past year or so (at least). This morning, I went into my Devi Puja and begged Devi to help me and here is the answer. Just like Swamiji says, "giving so much more than they take!". What grace! sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Dear All, The concept of " Giving more than what we take " is very classic. then the concept of Total Surrender and being devoted - like a child mother relation - is the simplest and the most effective way to be spiritual. The beauty of our group is that we are able to brainstorm and arrive at derivations and lucid formula for even complex concepts which may appear simple and the simple concepts that may appear complex. Lets continue the Great work being done by us. Jai Maa. aravind. --- Latha Nanda <lathananda wrote: > My thanks to > Steve,Chris,Berijoy,Brian,Sadhvi,Aravind and Lynne > for > their contributions. > > Here are to recap are your definitions > > Spirituality means .... > > - om, awareness becoming what it is, svaahaa! thou > art THAT.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 latha, she has such an ability to be able to see things simply. when i am up against the wall like i am with this move i lose it. things get complicated. why can i not see this is simple? ths mind gets active when fear of losing things or people or other attachments comes in. s , "Latha Nanda" <lathananda> wrote: > My thanks to Steve,Chris,Berijoy,Brian,Sadhvi,Aravind and Lynne for > their contributions. > > Here are to recap are your definitions > > Spirituality means .... > > - om, awareness becoming what it is, svaahaa! thou art THAT.
