Thank you to Swamiji about Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- Absorption in the Causal body

[Guest guest]

Nanda posted Swamiji's response to Steve's Question:

Question from Steve:...When you said the "Divine I has taken his or

her mind into complete absorption in the causal body" ... does

"complete" indicate one's mind is absorbed into the causal body

without returning?In your view is it possible or desirable to live

one's life completely outside the relative mind?Swamiji's response:It

is neither desirable nor possible to live completely submerged in the

absolute. Neither Brahma, Vishnu, nor Shiva are free from

manifestation in duality. Everyone must return from complete

absorption. But to even be in that state for any time is a rare

privilege, which is highly regarded.

Dear Swamiji ~ I am overwhelmed by your response. I'm not sure why,

but on one hand, it is not perhaps what one would expect, and on the

other hand, it recognizes what is ... we must return to the state of

duality. What you say seems so simple, exemplifies common sense, and

at the same time I believe I could read it over and over and continue

to find new meaning. And I have never forgotten what you wrote to in

answer to one of my questions (paraphrase): To say/pray often: Divine

Mother, what a privilege to be a part of your magnificent creation.

Now I am speechless. Jai Swamiji, thank you so much for your time ~ Linda
