Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Today we are at vs 116 " Parvati, he is imperceptible, without name or form. There is no word by which the intrinsic nature of Supreme Divinity can be known." ==================== This verse reminds me of a paragraph in the first story ever read of Beloved ShreeMaa, written by Linda Johnsen in the Daughters of the Goddess. The paragraph goes like this: “I was deeply impressed by M EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">a’s stillness. It is almost as if she wasn’t there. There was no ego for me to catch hold of, describe, fight with, or surrender to. She was like a shadow, trailing silence.” Tired of spam?

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Dear Kalia, this verse, and your comment, made me understand a little why as soon as I try to think about Shree Maa, my mind just goes blank. Yet, as others have said before me, the effect of Her presence is noticeable in my life, with love, Henny , Kali Kali <kaliananda_saraswati@y. ...> wrote: > > > > Today we are at vs 116 > > > > " Parvati, he is imperceptible, without name or form.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Kalia, This is just what I was talking about. It's just like the Guru Gita, to answer questions it hasn't explicitly asked. The nature of Purusha is that it is "conditioned" by time, space, form, activity, and attributes. This verse tells us that, nevertheless, "...he is imperceptible, without name or form. There is no word by which the intrinsic nature of Supreme Divinity can be known." Also, apparently, He is both perceivable (according to Swamiji) and imperceptible. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Kalia, I have often felt the same way about Maa, especially since I haven't spent much time around her. To my desire to know her better, I have imagined she would probably say, "This personality is unimportant. Why would you want to know it better? I am not the personality. I am Divine Mother. Learn to love Her and you will know me. (Yes, sometimes I have these "conversations" ) Jai Maa!
