...Thus have I heard....

...Befriending Our Feelings...

How could we forget those ancient myths that stand at the beginning of all races- the myths about dragons that at the last moment are transformed into princesses.
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are only princesses waiting for us to act, jut once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
So you must not be frightened if a sadness rises before you larger than any you've ever seen, if an anxiety like light and cloud shadows moves over your hands and everything that you do. You must realize that something has happened to you; that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hands and will not let you fall. Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any miseries, or any depressions? For after all, you do not know what work these conditions are doing inside you.
-Rainer Maria Rilke, from Letters to a Young Poet

Life is interesting sometimes...It's hard to remain present in the moment when we feel baffled by what life has thrown at us...Living life on life's terms is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves...May we all dwell in supreme bliss and happiness and have the courage to befriend all of our feelings, the easy ones as well as the difficult ones...for it is through walking through our fears that we are able to grow as spiritual beings and be present to the greatest gift that this journey gives us: L O V E
May you all be well and happy and may each one of us gain the strength and insight to walk through our fears and live in love...You are all in my prayers and deep in my heart...
Much love and peace,
Deveshwar

Thank you dear brother, your words of love and strength are exactly what I needed to hear in this exact moment. ;o) Just finished doing the names and I kept hearing that I am not in charge... to let Amma carry me and show me what She has in store for me. I do not need to figure anything out, I can just rest and have peace in knowing that She is holding my hand and She WILL guide me, guide ALL OF US for we are Her darling children. There is no need to worry, She will always be there to guide each n every one of us ;o)

With Love and Pranams..
