A Simple Fact

Hare Krishna!


Dear Bhaskar,

Thanks for the wonderful photograph of Sri Ramana Maharshi, the Guru of all Gurus. Pranams at His lotus feet.

Love,

Kumar.

 

Yes - thanks Bhaskar.

Maybe we should have a thread dedicated to posting pictures of spiritual personalities etc.....

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

 

I love this post. Thank you.

Ma Indira Devi is so wonderful. I love Pilgrim of the Stars...it must have been amazing to have known her in her material form.

 

Hare Krishna!

Dear Nicole,

Thanks for your post. I am sorry, I was out of Kolkata (Calcutta) for some time and could not reply early.

Yes dear, Ma was really very wonderful and we were so fortunate to be at Her feet in Her bodily presence. I wish I could express my feelings about Her properly, which I cannot.

If you have not already read " The Rounding Off " by Dadaji, Sri Dilip Kumar Roy, I would strongly advise that you should read this book at the earliest to know more about Ma and to know more about love for God. I am sure, the book is meant for persons like you.

Love,

Kumar.

 

Hare Krishna!

Living this life to see the Lila of Undivine, Anti-Divine and Divine. It is all wonderful around me. Living with the devastations caused by terrorism, the storms, tsunami, earthquakes, silent tears of hunger, stupid leaders and again, at the same time watching flowers blooming, trees getting adorned with colours of fresh leaves and flowers, barren lands becoming fertile, new babies crying to anounce their arrival, small children smiling and playing around unaffected, slums changing into sky-scrapers. Everything is happening.

Feeling seek ? Not at all, everything is happening and changing except my Lord who is all three in one. Eyes are on Him alone and not on His Bhibhuties. My unperishable, eternal Lord is my only hope. He shall take me to His own bank for sure when the time comes. Till then there is only one duty.... to love one and all, indiscriminately as Him, as His own creation. No, I cannot hug them all. I am scared of so many thimgs, big and small. I do not need to hug them in their forms, but I love and respect them all. Not to harm is my Mantra.

Why writing this ? Why has He turned His face from me ? At times crying alone does not help, I need to do so many things to tell Him that I love Him. Just moments back I told Sarah-the-Walrus not to pray, no need to pray for anything. How can I now say that all of you please pray for me ? My Lord has become blind, deaf and dumb. May be irritating Him will help.

Sorry for troubling. Love,

Kumar.

 

'It is good to serve God in darkness and trials. We have only this life to live by faith'

St. Therese of the Child Jesus.

It's easy to think of God when things are going well, going as we want them to. It's always more difficult when things take a dip. Your words prove you haven't forgotten Him - even if things are rough...

Sometimes I think we just have to trust that somehow, things will work out, even when we can't see at all where we are going.

Sweet Mother once said, 'everything that happens happens for the best'.
It can be extremely hard to keep this truth in front of us at times...

In the end, all forces serve the Divine, even the most un-divine froces are all in this play only for His purposes.
Think of Therese during her last year on earth, suffering terrible torment from the pains of terminal TB, all consolation gone, no sign of the presence of her beloved Lord......and yet at the end, her last words.......'MyGod, I love you!'

Please don't think I'm preaching here - I'm only trying to convey some of the thoughts that have helped me during times of darkness and trial of my own..

God Bless.

 

Thank you very much for this magnificent picture, Bhaskar.
