Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 "inquiry ends in faith"...For me, this has happened, My stress level has lowered very much because I have faith that I am doing the right thing at the right time in the right place, I no long try to control everything. My need for control was set up from being in an out of control family situation and this situation no longer exists. I wake up every morning and say first thing to Amma's picture "thy will not mine be done today." Then I listen for the rest of the day and if things change and I do not accomplish one thing and something else comes for me to do, I accept that what is supposed to happen is going to happen. It is a big leap of faith for me every morning - and doing this one thing makes my whole day much easier because I am not alone and trying to wreste control from things I have no control over. Faith is walking in the knowledge that I am loved and cared for and cherished by God/Amma/Supreme Being. Sometimes I really really want to control something and am learning this is futile for me.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Namah Shivaya, This is quite an accomplishment. I know for myself I always felt I was the one who had to control my life and make things happen. Then I got really sick and still felt the same way, and of course this was very frustrating, because most control was taken away from me. But being an Aries, well, we have our own problems and don't give up so easily. They say that when you say a mantra or pray to a deity they come and sit in front of you. I have been trying to keep Mother with me more, and it is very, very comforting. I talk to Her a lot. I feel the load of my mind is a little lighter - believe me, this mind is heavy :-) - really. What you are doing is complete surrender. Mother says that when we surrender, God takes care of everything. God always did take care of everything, it is we who are hanging on to the way WE think it should be. We humans are so silly. Jai Ma!
