Final Message from the Mother

Final Message - sharing a click!

This morning, the day started a bit different than normal.  By 4:30am one group of ashramties already left the house to go to the temple.  I woke-up very easily and realize maybe some stayed-up very late last night.

I took shower and got ready and left to the temple. In the temple saw all were busy preparing for some event. Most of them were having their breakfast.  Annadatta was busy making sure everyone had their breakfast and pack some food to go.  Meanwhile, I just checked with everyone that everything is OK, and got ready for morning satsang at 6:30am. Beautiful message and special blessings from Swamiji for LA guys this morning.  Never I enjoyed Shiva Sutra in the past like I do now.  Every morning, look forward to hear from Him, the leelas of Shiva (Chokknatha, also known as Sudareswara).  Sharing the enlightenment techniques with His consort Devi.  

The way Swami, deliver the morning discourse, takes me through the visualiation of Devi sitting on Shiva's lap and He holding Her around Her waist, and He so patiently and compassionately delivering the enlightenment techniques to Her.  Thanks to Devon Ki Dev Mahadev series, gave me visualization of Kalabhairava and Shiva's compassion and His soft side. For the 1st time in my life, have admiration for Nandi.

(in this clip you can see Shiva's extension of Kalabhairava and also He is in tears thinking of Sati)


Anyway, after discourse...everyone was out.  I saw on a table in the lobby 'The Wonder that was Saradadevi'.  Short stories on Mother's life. I started reading the book. This was her final message,

" I tell you one thing: if you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather, see your own faults. Learn to make the world your own.  No one is a stranger.  The whlole world is your own!"

This message is not new but surely a great reminder. Beautiful click to start the day. Just wanted to share the click with you.
