Tears of wordly attachments versus tears of devotion

[Guest guest]

Last night we sang a bit of the Sundar Kanda and afterwards a

question was asked. What is the difference between tears of worldly

attachments and tears of devotion.

 

Swamiji says this:

 

Tears of devotion are those we shed when we realize the priviledge

of sitting in front of Her to offer our love and to serve Her in

whatever way She sees fit.

Tears of worldly attachments are those we shed when She doesn't come

to us at our convenience...when She isn't ours personally to put in

our pockets and own. (In the Chandi, in Chapter 5, Shumbhah -- Self

Conceit -- sends his embassador ro the Goddess and says, "You come

and serve me and my extremely valiant brother, Self Deprecation,

because you are the very essence of jewels." )

 

 

If we allow the Great Ego to have his way, there is no end to his

need of service...he can never be satisfied. When we realize the

privilege of serving Her, there is no end to the satisfaction!

 

We all shed tears so it is important to shed the right ones!

 

Jai Jai Jai Jai Jai Maa!

Jai Maa, Gauriji!!! May we always shed the sweet nectarean tears of

gratitude, appreciating the divine privilege we have been given.

Selfish tears always taste bitter; tears of joy are always sweet...

Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrisha Deva!

your sister slowly dissolving in Maa's Sweetness,

muktimaa
