The Living Quietness

The whole world is your home. I am the Mother of the wicked, I am the Mother of the virtuous. Whenever you are in distress, say that 'I have a Mother'. Sri Sarada Devi.

Guarding life with God.

A moment of my experience at the spiritual center: When I brought my voice from the silent depths of my own being singing in the chanting session of a morning session, I realize again that it is the power of love, of God's. For in that place I was suprised by the clarity of when It attracted the presence of another person, with whom I was sitting adjacent to. The moment sent me to learn the nature of mine and everyone's life. I reflected then as to how often the regret of thirsting for the fullness of living one's own life consumes me and some others I have come to know in my life. I then wanted to guard the Presence in me with the power and companionship of God! It feels that guarding our presence in our present moment, through my own body is the essence of life. If in the journey of life, as it is for me, that such a discipline is not predominant and strong enough, it seems possible that we allow the core of ourself to 'jump' into the depths of another's core being - thsu taking upon the goals, love, visions and so forth from that. It aches my heart even as I begin to write such a loss of experience of my own life, the special and authentic life that is waiting and is meant for me to live. A teaching of 'Bhajan Govidam' is that one's Liberation into the essence of God and the Present Moment is through association with great souls. So while it is true that fortune leads me into the experience of higher life through losing myself to the core being of a higher soul other than myself, alas to drink from the origin and be quenched of the thirst for the totality of one own's being - how should I ever waste my life not entering into such a phenomenal living.
