Guest guest Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Dear Tangji and Rajatji Thank you both for your very kind responses. My little wish was that I wanted to quit my job, move to another place (the hometown of my wife), build a practice and work there as a Polarity therapist and astrologer. But we couldn't find an appartment and other signs indicated that we shouldn't go there now. So in the beginning it was a great disappointment because I posed so much hope in that idea. But, as it is so often, it turned out to be a big blessing and I am quite happy with the guidance from this big hearted "uncunning" pair, Sri Ganeshji and Srimati Lakshmidevi. I quit my job anyway and depend now on Them to show me where the path leads. They helped me to settle down not in the specific town or occupation but to settle down in Their grace. Yes, very much agrree with you not to see Srimati Lakshmidevi as a divine money machine. She is the heart of Narayana, His joy and happiness, His abundance, grace and beauty. Without Her, God is unhappy. And me too, I can tell you :-)... And Sri Ganeshji is a great lover and admirer of Lakshmidevi, too, so in my heart they belong together, they sit there together on their throne. Yes, without Ganesh and Lakshmi, no door and no heart opens, no way and no mind clears, no abundance and no happiness unfolds. And the longer I talk about it now, the more I recocnize how much they fullfilled my wishes and hopes and the more my thankfulness evolves. Sometimes I think that Sri Ganeshji bestows me with the present of Srimati Lakshmidevi. And sometimes I have the very scandalous urge to hug Him for this...
