Prayer request

[Guest guest]

Namah Shivyah

 

I don't like to ask for prayers unless they are sincerely needed,

and I am asking for them today.

 

My husband has been looking for a job in his field since 2002. It

has been the longest and most painful process that both of us have

had to endure.

 

We submitted his resume for a job today (I work for a staffing

company) that would be GREAT for him. We have a good relationship

with the client; the job is a direct hire with a good company;

they've been looking for candidates for a while. It's looking good

so far... Not to mention it would be a big pay increase from what

he's making now!

 

Please pray for my husband Rajesh. He really wants this job. I pray

that he gets it, after such a long and difficult struggle.

 

In 2003, Amma told him to "be patient" in his job search... I wonder

if nearly three years is patient enough...

 

With love,

Erica

Aum Amriteshvaryai Namah

 

Dear Erica,

 

I will definitely include both of you in my prayers tonite!

Dont worry ... been there done that!!

 

I was in that situation couple of years back ... but managed to get

a job ... all I can say is ... destiny/karma!

 

In my small way ... I am an astrology enthusiast, if interested feel

free to pass on the birth details ... and I will take a look at it.

Ofcourse I dont charge )

 

Good Luck & May Prosperity be yours!

Warm Regards

Narayan

Actually, Tabitha, it sounds like you **are** still in a relationship

with the father of your children. As is fitting.

 

And his controlling, selfish behavior sounds all too familiar. I love

my husband, and I loved my partner before that. But men... well, men

can be such men. Bossy m-f-r-s, if y'all will excuse me getting my

Irish-Celtic-French-Afreakacolloquialism up on the topic for a crude

moment. I'm sorry he's manipulating you, T., and using love as more

of a weapon than a balm. He probably can't help himself, on some

level. I mean, of course he ** could ** control his mind and his

mouth and his motivations. But just that he's evolving like us all,

and makes selfish choices and falls into similarly socially

conditioned gender pressures.

 

Amma has said similar things, in certain situations, to devotees who

face obstacles to their spiritual duties from family members, as per

the wonderful example cited by another devotee about Anandamayee Ma's

advice to one of her daughters. Verrry similar!! It is a difficult

situation, and I pray you find balance between your need for satsang

and your family obligations -- both those duties to which you

naturally bend as well as those responsibilities more imposed or

"sexpected."

 

Amma is everywhere, even if you can't get to satsang. You can still

read her books, listen to the bhajans, watch a DVD or video, or cruise

the website.

 

Nevertheless, if he is serious about his dharma fellowship, I would

think he could also find space in his practice to accommodate yours.
