Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Ardis, I just happened to glance into the Lalita Trishati a few days ago, and I was struck anew by a passage in the introduction. I had read it before, and I always processed it as kind of a general discussion on the distinction between Tantra and Advaita, worship compared to union. But this time I saw that Swamiji was (I think) hinting at the actual experience. Without actually saying so, I think he was telling us what we would see, and how we should respond to Her. He wrote: "In order to look into your eyes to tell you how much I love you, I must step back from our union into the duality of our love. Lalita, the beloved, is the One I see."

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Oh yes. He is very clear. There is no doubt in my mind that He is in love with Her and that He sees Her all the time when He is not in Union with Her. He shows us the way to find Her.
