Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Dear Julie, I will put your and your family on the prayer list starting this week, and keep you all on as long as necessary. I am so sorry to hear of your hardships, and I hope you will find solace through the wonderful brothers and sisters on this list. Our Beloved Mother is with you and your family, and Her Cosmic Heart is as vast as the universe. There is more than enough room within Her heart for all of our problems and challenges. She knows how to bring each of us to that sacred place of peace and detatchment where we may rest from this world that can bring such turmoil. One of the mantras in the thousand names of Lalita translates as "She who removes all the problems of Her devotees." When I first came to Amma, I thought "wow! she'll take away all my problems and everything will be bliss!" Needless to say, that bubble burst very quickly! It isn't necessarily that She removes all of our problems; actually often it feels like things become very much intensified. However, when you are in Amma's presence, everything dissolves into the brilliant light of Her Love. Nothing seems important at all. The mind sinks into the heart, and you find yourself transported to a place beyond everything you thought was so important; everything you cling so tightly to. Peace, stillness and sweetness replace the swirling, turbulent life of the mind, and it is in this way that She removes our problems. She leads us to a place that transcends them. The journey for us is to learn how to stay in that transcendant state, even amid chaos. I sincerely hope that you and your family know that you are not alone in these challenges, and that each of us are loved beyond measure. It sounds so trite, but through all the pain and challenges we must face in life, it is only Love which has the power to carry us through, like a life raft on stormy seas. Her Lotus Feet are our life raft, and sometimes all we can do is hang on, and trust where She is taking us. She knows the way.
