Q&A with Swamiji .....48...Perception

[Guest guest]

Question from Steve :

Yesterday I had this thought as I was preparing to study the

Chandi, "I wish I could see better" as I was having some trouble

with my eyes. Immediately a voice said "Why do you have so many

desires?" This voice was non-judgmental and felt separate from the

source of my typical internal voice.

My question is, is there any particular understanding of this kind

of thing in the Chandi Path, in your evaluation

 

 

Swamiji's response :

First, in Chapter One the rishis says, "Objects of the senses are

perceived differently by all beings." Then it becomes less relevant

to see outside, as to hear Her inside.

 

Also check out 4-16: By your grace, Oh Goddess, the meritorious

souls perform the acts of spiritual discipline with faith and

thereby attain to heavenly perception.

Swamiji and all the Devi Mandir family,

 

Thank you for your insightful responses, and for your active

participation in our spiritual progress.

 

1,000 pranams. Please convey my highest regards for Shree Maa, all

the mothers, and the sisters and brothers at the Mandir.
