After so many ups and downs in life. Worshiping Shiv ji, I found Maa to be everything. My husband always helps me to do puja bhakti in my interest, but till now he is not in the same guru. Even though I was non-vegetarian because of my both family, but last 3 years I became a vegetarian, but due to a health issue and some guidance of Mother, I started non-veg again. But I am confused whether I am doing wrong or right? Please give some guidance. Jai Maa! 🙏🏻🌼
As far as the Mother’s guidance is concerned about the gods and the temples, She advised ‘a luminous indifference’. The gods are there no doubt and they are helpful in their own way in the terrestrial work. But all our faith and surrender must go entirely to the Divine Mother. This has always been the teaching of all spiritual paths. This does not mean any antagonism or looking down upon those who believe in or still need to worship the gods. In religious life, it does not matter because one is selfishly centered around oneself and goes naturally everywhere, to men and gods and whoever else to get it. It is a transactional relationship. But when it comes to the true spiritual life, then it is all about giving oneself in a joyous surrender to the Deity or Guru or God or the Avatar one is naturally drawn towards and loves.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
