After meditating on Swamiji's instruction and Shree Maa's message to the prayer group last month ..."We pray that you ask yourself the question-- what is the purpose of my life? What is my goal? What do I want to give to this world to say "Thank you" for allowing me to be here?" the following letter/poem/prayer came. Of course I do write the script of my life, although sometimes it seems the prabdha karma has its way, and I still forget who I am and "shoot more arrows"! Also Nanda, thank you for the blessings of support and encouragement for puja. It was a bless filled night. Truely a coming home. Om, Peace- S ----------- Om Maa Devi, If I could write the script of this life I call mine I would sit at my Guru's feet Washing them gently each day As she lightly touches my head I would walk and breathe with such gentleness That even the smallest birds would feel safe In my presence I would sing from my heart to the Mother As the river of light and life flows freely Through me I would cause no harm, possess little, Want for nothing, smile easily, and Love fully I would heal with these hands and this heart Be bothered no more by the noise of commerce And politics I would move anonymously through the crowds Helping where I can, grasping for nothing, Serving the Mother "I" would be no more Only your servant Would remain You made me - your Daugher, Mother, with these talents and habits. Please use this life, these samskaras, this breath, mind and body As YOU see fit. Om Tat Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
