Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Very well said Steve, this is beautiful. In reading your post I was thinking about self deprecation and self conceit, the two which hung around after the defeat of the ego. Ok, through love, devotion and surrender, we are at that place of truth, that place of bliss, the final step to that purity of consciousness – I am That. The Goddess of Knowledge speaks through our very being and the soul is in constant japa but these two (self conceit and self deprecation) are making one last desperate appeal to the bit of mind left - Is this the right decision? What if? Also thought of pride and arrogance. You are the greatest, you do not need this type of thing. Our determination increases, we go to the sand banks of the river and there, understanding that this is our only true choice, we cry like never before to Mother, “Please take my hand Mother, and show me the way, I don’t know this path very well, I fully rely on you, I trust you with all of my heart, beyond you I know of no one else”. Mother must know that we really want HER, and when She is pleased ….. No Mind, No Desire, No Self, only SAT-CHI-ANANDA Thanks you.
