Re: Blessings on Swamiji's birthday.

Dear Sister Jayanti,

Beautiful thoughts, wonderfully expressed.

Om Shanthi Om

Re: Blessings on Swamiji's birthday.

Thank you, sister Jayanti. Mother and Swami ji seem to express the same compassion albeit in different ways. Swamiji's was the harshness(if I may be permitted to use the word) or directness of Siva, the destroyer, who destroyed (ignorance) only to build anew on surer foundations. Mother's was the indirect and gentle way but more demanding. Both are apt to be misunderstood by ourself plus egos. But once understood, patience and forbearance come as the gifts and we become traditional farmers. Just to hold on, no matter how badly we fall with our spiritual life destroyed and He/Mother never give up on those who persevere.

Just some thoughts.
Regards,
