Dear Kalia ~ this seems very simple to me, in a sense saying that when you recite, that goal which is in your heart is what you will receive. The Guru Gita doesn't judge in this instance. If you recite desiring liberation, you will get that. If you recite desiring enjoyment, you will get that. I don't know how far this ~ Linda P.S. Hello again everyone. I have been in the process of moving my trailer from a conventional rv park to an acre of natural land on a friend's property. It is so beautiful here. Now when I look out any of my windows or my door, instead of seeing an rv corral, I see beautiful red rock, wild desert grasses, tiny white wild flowers (just waiting to be offered to Mother), bright orange wild flowers, different kinds of cacti, some of which is in beautiful bloom right now with yellow and purple blossoms, oak brush and juniper trees, and not too far off the beautiful mountains. It is so peaceful here, a gift really. (Swami, did you and Maa arrange for this opportunity to present itself?) : ) Blessings and greetings to all ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 OM NAMAH SIVAYA this sounds like a beautiful setting. while certainly the blessings of Swamiji and Shree Maa are beyond our comprehension don't sell yourself short. a friend of mine recently told me that in all situations in life, good or bad, we are the ones primarily responsible for them. He said, "when you point your finger at someone or something as the cause of your circumstance take a look at your hand. there is only one finger pointing at them but there are three fingers pointing back at you. We create our own reality." JAI MA , nierika@a... wrote: > > Kalia wrote: > > 150. For one who always recites desiring liberation, he will attain the > radiance of liberation.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Actually, Eric, I think it goes either way. The Guru Gita clearly says that the guru is the cause of all circumstance. The Chandi says the same thing (about Devi). So it seems there is a rather mysterious confluence of effects. I think the closer we are to the Guru (or Devi), the more we can attribute our every circumstance to Guru. Jai Maa!
