MOTHERLY ATTACHMENT
....End10 May 2013
Today Swami gave a picture in the divine
post inthe form of a card. On one
sidewere tall green shining
trees. On the backwasthe formofKrishna
made from
white stones and some dark grey shining
beads. There was a formoneither side of
Krishna, shining and blue incolor. One form hadan
arm outstretched, beckoning to
Krishna.Krishna’s
head is turned away and looking back.In
front of His turned head
is another form.
10 May 2013 Eveningmeditation
Vasantha:Swami, what is this picture?Is it Krishna and Yashoda?
Swami:Yashoda had motherly attachment.Radha had pure Prema.
Vasantha:Swami, what are the grey beads and white
stones?
Swami:Motherly
bhava is attachment,so grey beads, Pure love is indicated
through the diamonds.
Vasantha:Swami, yesterday I read the same in Sanathana Sarathi…what is the
mindless state?
Swami:The mindless state is calmness,
like theSthitaprajna(one firmly
established in wisdom). You are not like this. You express all different
feelings tome;this is your
nineteen qualities. This is your state.
Vasantha:Now I understand Swami.I will write.
End of meditation
Now let us see. I read the following in
this month’s Sanathana Sarathi.There
Swami says:
…When truth and love unite, the world
loses its identity for you, to see
Brahman everywhere…
Swami then gave the example of Yashoda.
Once Yashoda went on searching
for Krishna, “Where is Krishna,
where has He gone?” She was searching
for Krishna because
she
identified Him with His physical
form. Once you realize that Krishna is
everywhere, then you don’t need to go in
search for Him. o
cannot be even a small trace of impurity or ego in your heart. If it is there, then it
does not matter how manyyugas you pray to Him, He will never come.
