"the sweetness ... is not in books," EC

[Guest guest]

Dear EC,

Your post and Ram's about God's will are great. It's amazing, isn't

it, how we all can talk about God's will and Intuition, and yet, when

it's smacking us in the face, we miss it. The reason? God knows. We

don't. But if we really truly let Go and let God, then we go inside,

and inside can be scary...glorious God zone and ultimate Goal.

Taking that leap inward can seem awfully lonely with all that letting

go. Thanks for an inspiring post.

Namaste

Re: To Linda on study discussions and books

OM NAMAH SIVAYADear Linda, you know they says all things happen for a

reason. maybe there is a reason you can't access your books. maybe

your not suppose to have them right now. Ram had a great post about

personalizing worship and focusing on the intention and devotion. do

what you feel. talk to GOD, cry for GOD, pray to GOD. feel GOD in

you waiting to be noticed. you have spoken about Ammachi. she says,

"you can write the word honey on a piece of paper but no matter how

much you lick the paper it's impossible to taste the sweetness of

honey. you must experience it." the sweetness your looking for is

not in books.JAI MA , nierika@a...
