Where to "go" after japa?

[Guest guest]

Namaste-

 

Lately I've been finding that my mind is in a state of profound

stillness and receptiveness. I'm not quite sure what to do within that

state. I have been using it to just pray and ask the Goddess to dwell

within me, help perfect me and guide me in everyday life. I would like

to be more "active" during this period, however, and was wondering

what you all would suggest.

 

I have also just ordered The Guru and the Goddess, as well as the

video on the Meaning of Worship, so perhaps the answer will be in

there?

 

Blessings,

~Devi~

of receptivity and profound stillness...it is Her Home, Her Temple.

You have arrived at Her Lotus Feet when you have found That Place,

and She will meet you there in all Her Glory! Dwell within that

State of Grace, and She will take you the rest of the way. The Love

and Devotion which carried you to Her Home, is what will bring Her to

You once you have arrived in the stillness of Her Temple. Enjoy the

silence, become one with it; and your heart's cry will bring Her to

You! I'm sure that Swamiji would have a much better explination

than this, but I just wanted to let you know that to attain the state

you have described is a great gift, and to trust where it will take

you, with patience and faith. With Much Love in Her, SanataniDevi

hi devi, the ideal thing to do is, don't put the energy into the

world. let it stay where it is. use it for stabilization. peace,s.

dearly loves God. However, the state of consciousness you speak of

"profound stillness and receptiveness" is indeed a state of Grace, a

state that yogis strive to attain. When we speak of "going somewhere,

or being active within that state", it is rather like following a road

map and arriving at the destination, and then not understanding that

you have indeed arrived. We westerners still tend to ascribe worth

and value only in the doing, and not in the being-ness of having

arrived! To me, this seems to be a point of confusion for many of us.

The mind likes to have something to "do", and tends to want to push

away the void of beingness with activity.
