Do not ask for anything else. --Shree Maa Dear devotee and all ~ I was glad to see this and be reminded of getting back to the most very basics. I have been in trouble, emotionally, and it is all because my monkey mind has been trying to get things it cannot possibly get. I think this needs to be my mantra for awhile.

Do not ask for anything else. --Shree Maa > Dear children of God: I too have been trying to keep this profound saying of Shree Maa's at the forefront of my mind and heart. It was scary at first, because the ego tried to con me with thoughts like "well, what if I really NEED something--what if someone I love gets sick? I would have to pray for that person to get better..." etc., etc. but I found, as I surrendered to Kali in every moment and gave Her my every desire, that I desired HER more and more, and that my attention shifted from the whims of the ego. one thing that has helped me through this somewhat trying period has been gratitude--to offer gratitude to God as often as I can during the day. there's always something to be grateful for, even if it's that one is still breathing. (usually it's a whole lot more--we can always give thanks for Maa and Swamiji, for Ramakrishna, for Ramprasad, for this group, for the scriptures, for chocolate...) thanks for reminding us of this beautiful thought. blessings to Shree Maa and Swamiji for always reminding us (and showing us through their lives) that if you have God in your heart, you already have everything you could ever want.
