Surrender and "letting go of the fear" with CHANDI

[Guest guest]

Gross body (First Episode)...The physical body is tangible to us...But

we still need Inspiration to help us change (The Divine Mother awaking

us when we ask for inspiration)...But like Vishnu we have to do all

the hard work...We cannot keep quiet and do nothing saying, "God will

take care" since the body is tangible…

If the body is lazy, we have to fight it and make it sit in an asana

or at least make it take a nice walk everyday in Her name …

 

This which will eventually balance the tamas...Mother will help us

with inspiration and lead the Cheering Committee as we tackle our

bodies...When we begin to get control over our bodies, She lets us

falsely believe that we can control everything else in the same way …

 

 

So our egos ask "What's next?"

Subtle body (Second Episode)...The subtle body is less tangible but

still we can work on it...The way Mother helps us here is by

channeling our emotional and mental energies, but still we have to

work with Her…So like the Gods we give our energies to Her...We do

that by Pranayama...Or through Initiation...When we do Pranayama or

when the Guru infuses us with energy, we release the emotional and

mental energies stored in our bodies which are weighing down us...But

simply releasing it is useless; because it will go right back to where

it came from...This is where Mantra comes in...The released energy is

channeled towards the Mantra or Prayer, which gives birth to the

Goddess in us...So we use the Chanting to channel the energies

released from Pranayama and Shaktipat to give birth to the Goddess in

us...The Goddess born within us will take care of our desires and

fears;

we can sit back and Cheer...How does the Second episode end...We give

birth to the Goddess in us, She grants us success with our desires

and takes care of our fears...This...Makes us trust Her...We start to

have Faith...The ego loses hold on us...Now we Believe "Everything is

You O! Goddess!..." instead of the egoistic "i"...

Causal body (Third Episode)...This is the least tangible of the

bodies...All we do now is to ask for help and Surrender...By Her

Grace we are ready to Surrender as we have Faith in Her and trust Her

implicitly now...When we are ready for Her we just ask for Her help

and She as the Beautiful Ambika will grab our attention in our

meditation while She takes care of our thoughts...Life is Good..No,

Life is GOD...

In conclusion...The first step in surrender is to ask Her for

help...The next step is ours to take, with Her inspiration...Then we

give birth to Her inside us with the Help of the Guru, Pranayama,

Mantra...We have faith when we feel Her act within us...We

surrender...SHE takes over...

Dear friends, I have just tried to give you my understanding of the

Chandi and it will surely differ from yours, but I hope that whatever

be the discrepancies that you will take the spirit of it i.e...I LOVE

HER...So I ask you to join me by taking a walk with HER daily...
