449--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI-- Chandi and mental restlessness

[Guest guest]

May she bless you.

 

May I add?

 

Swamiji and Maa also talked elsewhere about "churning." The spiritual

work can make a lot of stuff come to the top. Maa suggests cream will

result, in other words, the best of you will rise to the surface.

 

We will find a vein of devotional water eventually. Each one of us is

different. For some, the word "I" or "I Am" leads them to that

direction of peace, and the chaos of mind naturally recedes. Others

are very inclined to devotion, they enter the altar and become

changed, either slowly or right away.

 

The big unknown is "how long will it take?" Only God can know, how

many karmas we have accumulated, reactions, vasanas, etc.

 

The best advice I ever heard on this is to persist, and be patient.

 

Sometime we can deploy our own minds to solve problems. It is

not unspiritual to take stock of our situation. What might I be doing

wrong? What am I not understanding? Am I creating any grief

unnecessarily? Can my sadhana be changed without a setback, can I

revise something in my schedule to be even more effective, and also

reduce some stress?

 

These are question I have to ask myself. They can help you move

through and beyond the mind's own cycles. I hope they are of some

small use in your situation.

are my ishtas. Please provide me a solution and wisdom so that I can

come out of this trap.

Approaching astrologers only causes grief, there is no one to tell

your future except if you get the grace of a Guru since astrologers

cant predict there own future

The only solution is surrender to divine mother, sri sankaracharya

says "meditating on the feet of the divine mother saves you from

immediate danger"

Please find yourself a good teacher , who can help and advice you

I am telling all this from my experience, at one point of sadhana you

would feel so confident of even changing your future and would not

bother about anything

Kind regards
