To Kali Kali on Verse 114

[Guest guest]

Kali Kali wrote (on Guru Gita Verse 114):

"Just as one sees in a mirror the clear reflection of the image which

stands before it, just so, uniting So and Ham (nature and

consciousness) in the ultimate bliss, the individual soul is the

reflection of infinite consciousness."

Dear Kali ~ I particularly love this passage, partially because I love

the twin swans (as they are called in the Chandi) of So and Ham, their

meaning, using them as a mantra, etc. If I am looking out of my body,

and I see discord, unhappiness, tragedy, then I need to go within and

see what is happening inside, because the outside is a reflection of

the inside, just as the verse says in the mirror being the clear

reflection of the image which stands before it.

 

Perhaps this is why Maa encourages us to go look in the mirror every

morning and greet ourselves lovingly. Another source that I read

(sorry, I don't remember) suggested going to the mirror periodically

during the day and smiling as big as possible, to the point of

rediculousness, until you start laughing. If cleanliness is next to

Godliness, the I believe happiness is even closer.

 

Recently some people have asked me about my screen name. Since it

pertains to this verse, I will share the meaning with the group.

Nierika is a Huichol Indian word. It means "portal to other (sacred)

realities" and "mirror and face of the diety." It is a constant

reminder to me to remember to see the divine in all things because

when I look out that is what the world (mirror) reflects back to me,

and then I am reminded that I, too, am a spark of the divine.

Dear Linda,

Beautiful explanation and oh so true. Nice name also. Thanks for

reminding that we should greet the inner divinity each morning. How

wonderful that our new web page at shreemaa.org is that of Maa seated

on the swan (of vital breath).

Jai Gurujis.
