Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Most Beloved Divine Family, Jai MAA! It is so interesting to hear the discussion of Ruchi, Tanmaya, Kumari, Henny, Linda...and i am sorry i am not writing everybody's name - but it is an issue we all grapple with -- How to live a Spiritual Life in the WORLD? One time last summer MAA said to me -- to see everybody as your beloved Diety. She said think of your husband as Shiva or Narayana or any form of God and serve him as you would serve God. Think of all your brothers and sisters as your God - You serve God when you serve them. It was sooooo beautiful - and i was sooo happy to hear that pure teaching!!! A few months later i had to teach a class of middle-level executives. They were all men and they had a lot of experience in the subject i was supposed to teach....i was very nervous and wishing i did'nt have to do it. By Maa's Grace, we remembered Her teaching -- we thought "They are all Gopals. I am going to class to play with 40 Gopals. What could be more fun than that!!" So i went to class remembering my beloved Gopal and praying to Him and to Maa to be with me. After the first few minutes, i forgot everything about Gopal and all the teachings - i was just into the subject. It was an interactive class - so i said "Oh! Next time i will bring placards for all of you to write your names. So we can have a good discussion." Suddenly, without even my looking at him, a man in the front row said "My name is GOPAL" Was it a co-incidence? Was it a God-incidence? It was a Gopal-incidence!!! :-) Jai Gopal! Jai MAA! God is everywhere in everyone - perform every action as a Puja and be always with the Divine - this is a beautiful teaching that our Mother teaches us!!! May we remember Her teaching - at our altar, in our home with our loved ones, in our work place with our co-workers, in the train and bus and shopping stores!!! May we be blessed to live always in the purity of God's sweet presence... Jai MAA! Jai Swamiji! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
