AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What happens when a lower mind comes in contact with a person with a highly sattwic mind – they get awkward/uncomfortable. Aura bothers them? See their own inadequacies/flaws? 🧠🌱

When two different layers of mind come in contact with each other, let’s say a sattwic mind and the other rajasic, then it may lead to conflict. But a tamasic mind will remain indifferent. It is only if one comes in contact with the spiritual mind that the inadequacies may be seen, leading either to an urge for progress and change or else a turning away from the person because of the pressure for change that is sometimes felt in the presence of a spiritual mind. However, if the person is ready, then the presence of a person with a developed spiritual mind may be inspiring and even a great help for progress. It all depends upon the other person’s readiness and capacity.

Affectionately,

I thought I had changed my past impure self a little bit; I thought I had become a little better human… but again, something happened and I feel I failed more miserably than before….

Good or bad we cannot change others. The only person we need to change is …

I have a question like how to do actual self-giving? Even if we say we are completely surrendered to The Mother, there are still points and situations that show, something in us is still there, holding us back. 💗🙏🏻[…]

Self giving to the Divine is more than selflessness. Selflessness loosens the knot of the ego but still we may not act according to the Divine Will. Bhishma was quite selfless renouncing the throne and serving as a shield to the throne of Hastinapur defending the king regardless of who he was. But he was acting in opposition to the Divine Will. Self giving means to live for the Divine, to make the Divine Service the very motive of all our actions. It means to direct our thoughts to the Divine, to think of the Divine instead of the thousand useless things. With …

Dada, after taking my bath in the morning, I used to pray to Lord Bishnu, Krishna, Shiva, Maa Saraswati and Ganesh ji. So also in evening time for five to ten minutes. It has been continuing for the last several years. I could not avoid it. But Lord and Maa are my Ishta and leading my life accordingly. 🌸🙏🏻

It is true that the sadhana brings full results when all our energies of worship and service, our love and especially faith and surrender are directed through one form, person, personality, deity or guru towards the Divine. But this one-pointedness should not be an act of fear or compulsion. It should be a natural consequence of a growing …
