Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 Dear Nandu This reminds me of Maa's frequent question to her disciples and devotees: Do you want to be a bee, or do you want to be a fly? Good question. Answer, I think, isn't as easy as one might think at first. After all, flies really get around, and they're sure not picky.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 I cetainly like to fly, yet I do tend to be quite picky. I even picked some cans, bottles and plastic at dawn before sitting for puja. My order of things might seem rather reversed, but I'v got to pick when the pickings good. , "nitya_ma" <nitya_ma> wrote: > Dear Nandu > This reminds me of Maa's frequent question to her disciples and devotees: > Do you want to be a bee, or do you want to be a fly? > Good question.
