Swamiji's response:Considering the greatest efficiency, there is an

appropriate time and and circumstance for each.

Dear Nanda ~ this was an answer to a prayer for me. I just received a

letter from a woman (Amma devotee) who was obviously wracked with

pain and despair over feeling torn between the world and the ashram.

(She has two children, so the ashram doesn't seem like a possibility

for her.) She was begging for answers on how to reconcile these two,

to her, seemingly polar opposites, and it was obvious that she is

suffering a great deal. Now I can send her Swami's response (I copied

the question also, so she could se both). I am hoping this will bring

her some solace and understanding that she can balance the spiritual

and the worldly. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda

Dear Nanda ~ in yesterday's digest, you said you were taking no more

questions for the interview with Swamiji. I have a question. If it is

too late to be included in the interview, then let it be a regualr

digest Q & A.

 

Dear Swamiji,

 

I have been very stuck by Chapter 5 of the Chandi Path. What I would

like to know is if it is okay to take one chapter, such as this one,

and make it a regular practice (not instead of, for example, chanting

the entire Chandi, but in addition to, or sometimes, instead of)? This

chapter touched me very deeply as it states all that the Goddess is,

including things that may make us uncomfortable, such as Confusion

and Hunger, as well as things in which we would take delight, such as

Energy, Patient Forgiveness, and Peace. Thank you for your patient

regard of our questions. Pranams ~ Linda in NM

Dear Linda,

 

thank you for asking this question. The same thing has been going

through my mind, but I could not find the right words. I'm glad you

did,

 

with love,
