Dear Brian ~ for me the wandering to and fro can also be mental or in the heart, such as my wandering to and fro over what is the right thing to do about my inheritance money that I gave away to my money (mental) or feeling bad about myself for doing it, feeling bad about myself for even thinking about confronting my mother, feeling good on those few times when I feel I have come to a resolution (usually just let the situation be). I have also literally wandered to and fro, in my early 20's, moving an average of once a year. In one case, this was good, such as when I moved to Virginia to finish my college degree. In another sense this was not so good as when I let me family pressure me to leave the DC are and move to Oregon. What was I thinking! I wasn't ~ that is the crux. I think of my early training in transcendental meditation as an idea of a remedy. In TM we were taught not to push away or avoid thoughts, feelings, images; we were also taught not to hold onto them, but just let them pass by like clouds in the sky. I think I need to get back to this way of being because then this demon Parivaritah would not asail me so much. I have even thought of moving back to Oregon because maybe, maybe then my mother would love me; things would get "fixed" between me and my family. In reality I know this is not true, so somewhere a kind of true knowing has to intervene, and for me it has and has said, "no, Linda, you will NOT move back to Oregon." What is this voice of true knowing? I am not sure. Is it my Higher Self? Is it the voice of my Guru speaking to me? Is it the voice of the Divine speaking to me? Is there really any difference between these three ~ perhaps not. Jai Ma ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 The drama is unimportant. All that matters are you, the one you love and the relationship you have. Parivaritah likes to wander away from responsibility, and he likes to confuse true responsibility with responsibility that has been assigned by other asuras. Figure out what Goddess would do. Or ask Rama Krishna, Lord Krishna, or Lord Shiva to tell you what to do. Brahma and his grand daughter Saraswati can provide you with creative ways to solve your problems, but only if you give up your attachment to the situation. Stop caring about everything but God and her higher purpose and the actions will come. I have experienced difficulties so I have some understanding of what assails your mind. Trust me when I say, your mind can never know the right thing, unless it is taught by God. So stop thinking and beg for Maa to shine her light in your heart and mind. She is there always. And if you can't hear her, then pray to hear her. The process of surrender has begun and the drama is here to help you accomplish that. Recognize her in that and begin to smile at her games. She does all this because she loves you. When thoughts come and worries consume. Just repeat OM NAMAH SHIVAYA. om namah shivaya. om May her light fill you with bliss.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 It depends on why one is here, I suppose. Not everyone wants to be realized in this lifetime. I mean if everyone did realize this lifetime, there'd be no drama, and then Maa wouldn't get her fun!
