| Evolution of Love Part 2 |
Shree Shree Ma Anandamayee says, “Whenever you have the chance, laugh as much as you can. By this, all the rigid knots in your body will be loosened.” But, on a note of caution, Ma adds, “But to laugh superficially is not enough: your whole being must be united in laughter, both outwardly and inwardly. Do you know what this kind of laughter is like? You simply shake with merriment from head to foot, so that one cannot tell which part of your body is most affected.” Ma explains this further, “What you usually do is to laugh with your mouth, while your mind and emotions are not involved.” She implores us, “But I want you to laugh with your whole countenance, with your whole heart and soul, with all the breath of your life. In order to be able to laugh in this way you must have implicit faith in the power of the Self and try to bring the outer and inner parts of your being into perfect harmony.” |

We don't have Windows" And Tit for Tat from Microsoft in their premises: "Anyone visiting us here can be free to use Windows in case you need to release stale gas from yesterday's half eaten apple. We have been providing open window systems to the world since ages"👌😃🍃 |
| A KEY TO CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS If you would develop Christ Consciousness, learn to be sympathetic. When genuine feeling for others comes into your heart, you are beginning to manifest that great consciousness. When you talk unkindly about others, you are far from the universal sympathy of Christ Consciousness. Jesus said: "Bless them that curse you." (Matthew 5:44) He practiced divine sympathy. Jesus fought against those who were doing wrong, but he hated no one, because he saw God in every one. Lord Krishna said: "He is a supreme Yogi who regards with equal mindedness all men..." (BG VI:9) Do not sully your own thoughts and tongue by criticizing others. Be sincere with everyone, and above all, be sincere with yourself. God watches you. You cannot deceive Him. God is the whisper in the temple of your conscience, and He is the light of intuition. You know when you are doing wrong; your whole being tells you, and that feeling is God's voice. If you don't listen to Him, He becomes quiet. But when you wake up from your delusion, and want to do right, He will guide you. He is always waiting for the time when you will return Home. He uses your good and evil thoughts and actions, but they do not matter to Him. You are His child just the same. In your heart must well that sympathy which soothes away all pains from the hearts of others, that sympathy which enabled Jesus to say, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." His great love encompassed all. He could have destroyed his enemies with a look, yet just as God is constantly forgiving us even though He knows all our wicked thoughts, so those great souls who are in tune with Him give us that same love. |
| FOOTPRINTS...(When we FEEL Alone and Feel that GOD has deserted us)....🙏 ( What I read as a Child....And has STAYED with me.....ALWAYS - Have EXPERIENCED IT....Am LIVING IT.....) One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me ALL THE WAY. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me." The LORD SMILED and Replied: "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would NEVER LEAVE YOU. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, They are NOT yours, the ARE Mine it was then that I CARRIED YOU........" AND TRUE IT IS....I BET MY LIFE ON IT.... |
In the middle of that narrow space of the heart- Sushumna remains the undecaying, all-knowing, omnifaced, great Fire, which flames on every side which enjoys the food presented before it, which remains assimilating the food consumed, the rays of which spread scattering themselves vertically and horizontally, and which warms the body from insole to the crown. In the center of that Fire which permeates the whole body. There abides up in leaping tongue of Fire, of the color of shining gold, which is the topmost among the subtle, which is dazzling like the flash of the lightning that appears in the middle of a rainbow bearing cloud, which is as slender as the awn of a paddy grain; and which serves as a comparison to illustrate subtlety. Paramatman dwells in the middle of that flame... He is the Creator' Siva, Vishnu, Indra, the material and efficient Cause of the universe and the supreme Self-luminous pure Consciousness... |
| 🐂A farmer separated the bulls and cows to prepare them for the mating season a few days later. He built a wall with barbed wires on top. *A young bull* could not resist his temptations and wanted to mate a cow. Other bulls told him there was one *veteran* consultant bull amongst them that could help.* The bull went to him and asked how to cross the wall to the cows. The consultant explained: "First of all.. stand 60 feet away from the wall. Then run at 60mph. Then jump at a 60° angle. Do what you want then come back the same way." The bull asked: "But what if I mess up with the calculations and lose my balls in the barbed wires?"* *The consultant said:" Then you become a consultant."*😄 |

" 'Mahavakyas': Are great declarations of the Vedas, the most ancient scriptures of the world. These are numerous and appear throughout the Vedas in different places of the text. However, there are four popularly known 'mahavakyas' culled from four Upanishads, one from each of the four Vedas. Though every 'mahavakya' is complete by itself and has the potential to grant liberation to a deserving aspirant, the essence of the four 'mahavakyas' in sequential order, providing a roadmap for 'sadhana' is as follows: PRAJNANAM BRAHMA: 'Consciousness IS Brahma' (Aitareya Upanishad, Rig Veda) This first 'mahavakya denotes a statement of definition of Truth. It declares that Consciousness, the spiritual core that enlivens each of us, is the same all-pervading Consciousness in all beings and things. TAT TVAM ASI: 'That Thou Art' (Chhandogya Upanishad, Sama Veda) The second 'mahavakya' is a statement of instruction that a 'sadhak' is not a limited personality as he imagines to be but verily the Supreme Brahma. AHAM BRAHMA ASMI: 'I am Brahma' (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Yajur Veda) The third 'mahavakya' is a statement confirming experience of the Truth by the 'sadhak'. AYAM ATMA BRAHMA: 'This Self is Brahma' (Mandukya Upanishad, Atharva Veda) The fourth 'mahavakya' reflects on the 'sadhak' when he establishes himself in his real nature, the Self - omnipresent and eternal." "In Shree Shree Ma's 'sadhana lila' we find all these revelations in the different paths of 'sadhana' that She played, whether in the realm of 'Bhakti', Tantra, Yoga or Gyan* as well as other religions and faiths. All these took place during a period of eight months of Her 'sadhana lila' IN DIFFERENT ASTRAL PLANES during Her stay in Bajitpur, presently located in Bangladesh. Shree Shree Ma's lila of sadhana* is a unique phenomenon that has no parallel. All paths of spiritual endeavor were illuminated and experienced at this time. This lila was undertaken for the benefit of mankind. " (From "Mother Reveals Herself/Enlarged Edition, Appendix IV) Translations below are from the Glossary, page 431: *Bhakti = The yoga of attaining union with God by following the path of devotion. *Tantra = Particular path of 'Sadhana' that emphasizes japa of a mantra and other esoteric practices that relate to the powers latent in the human body in relation to the cosmic power usually thought of as the Divine Feminine. *Yoga or Gyan = Path of knowledge leading to the realization of the Self as taught by the Upanishads *japa = Recitation of mantra or a name of God as received from the Guru at the time if initiation *Lila = Divine Play *Sadhana = Austere endeavor/spiritual practice for the purpose of preparing oneself for Self-realization *Sadhak (a) = An austere practitioner |
| "All creatures are fundamentally one, for the whole universe is a manifestation of the One. A man who hears the word 'Himalaya', without having actually set eyes on the mighty range, will be under the impression that it is but a single mountain, whereas once face to face with the Himalayas, he will realize that they consist of hundreds upon hundreds of peaks, stretching over hundreds of miles, with milliards* of trees, animals, birds, insects, with streams and waterfalls. Similarly, the farther one advances or deeper one penetrates on the path of 'sadhana', the more clearly will be perceived the One revealed in the many and the many in the One. In actual fact we are always with the One, but distracted by the many we forget Him." *Milliard = A British noun - A "Milliard" is equal to a U.S. Billion! |
