Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 OM NAMAH SIVAYA personally if honest with ourselves i think everyone feels the same as you. the depths of union with God is infinite, so you never get to the "end." it hurts because you know its real. have faith and take solace in knowing your headed in the right direction. it a hard road but it's THE road. keep climbing the hill. offer the suffering to MA and focus on the love. do your best in the world and surrender the outcome to God. our karma is Maa's dharma.
