Comment: I have a strong feeling that
you are on the right path.
However, we must always remember the Words of our Beloved Master,
Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsadeva:
"The Divine Mother wants to continue playing with Her
created beings. In a game of hide-and-seek the running
about soon stops if in the beginning all the players
touch the 'granny'. If all touch her, than how can the game
go on? That displeases Her.
Her pleasure is in continuing the game."
Namaste Brother Paritosh,
So good to hear from you. and yes...I think you have hit it. Thanks...
Also,Would what I am talking about be the same as the Siva/Shakti principles...?
Surrender itself is the most intense prayer, Says Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. Sri Fhanindra tells me that saints like Swami Ranganathananda or Swami Bhuteshananda who were possessed by the Holy Spirit in the form of Mother Kali due to their surrender to HER, get no respite in life till death of the physical body. Mother gets Her work done through Her. I got this thought of no respite about Swami Ranganathananda, his intense karma. Then Sri Fhanindra explained. Such sattvika souls then return to Mother's lap, once Her work is done. So there is no passivity in surrender. Read about Girish Chandra Ghosh. One another saint we both had long association with was Swami Ijyananda, who was a disciple of Swami Vijnanananda- Ramakrishna's disciple. The power of the Holy Spirit that worked through Him was of Shiva, said Sri Fhanindra. Once He himself said to me, we are mrityunjayas, we have conquered death and another time I had the feeling he was a being from another realm.
Regards.
