to Amarnath about Ma embodies Love...

[Guest guest]

Dear Amarnath ~ your post touched a deep cord for, as I recently wrote to

someone, my heart has hung bruised in a hard fired clay vessel. This vessel is

heart shaped, so I was able to fool myself and others that I was really open,

when in fact, I was a frightened child hiding.

 

Now chinks are being knocked off this armor, perhaps by Durga, but even more

by the golden rays of love and devotion I have felt since returning to the

group ... it is the pure and innocent love and commitment of our Mother, and

the pure love and commitment of our of the group, pouring rays of golden light

around me that is finding its way through chinks in my clay vessel armor. I

know when I am finally ready, this vessel, which has served me, l so I don't

want to denigrate it ... this vessel will come apart, millions of tiny clay

bits being drawn into the rays of Love, sending out as well as receiving. I

have felt this blessed give and take in the group, and am so glad to be here

again. Jai Ma ~ Linda

Ma embodies Love as the Divine Mother with

ALL of Her moods and powers. She can be fierce protective Durga,

battling Maya on behalf of the innocent. She can be sweet Radharani,

honorable Sita, contemplative Parvati, and She can be the Ego-killing

Kali, taking the head so that we can fall into our unconditioned

Hearts. So I understood last night, as I do now, that Ma was giving me

exactly what I had come here for. I am in surrender to Her Grace for

this chance to face my karma and clear it in this lifetime by moving

the pain that only I have caused myself… I made that commitment coming

into this body. That can only happen if I let myself feel the pain and

face the emotions my fear causes me cling to in order to hide from it.

This has been my practice for a long time, and Ma has been the guiding

Force of that work for five years now. Well, all along She has been

the Guide, but I have only recently become aware of Her relationship

to my Soul as it's Master, and the One who embodies the lessons I need

to learn. Here, in Her presence, the strength, speed and impact of the

deluge is fierce… but I feel the Love in the swing of Kali's blade,

even as the sharp steel of my own conditions touches my neck!

Surrender and we are empowered, as our True Selves. We give up nothing

but our pain and our fear of separation. We give up our illusions.

What is left when all else drops away is our infinite truth and our

pure participation in God's theatrical presentation of the Universe.

We are experienced through as vibrations of His Intention, and the

Mother is the agency of our Existence, Self-hood and Integration. ...
