My prayers and pujas go out this morning to the Lord Krishna. In the Gita Lord Krishna tells of the three gates of Hell: koma (lust), krodha (anger), and lobha (greed). Lust gives birth to anger and greed. Lust is the great enemy of spirituality. When the senses are controlled by the mind, a supreme…...
All rivers must lead to the ocean. And every drop of water will be emptied into that ocean.

To be completely changed, just by meditation, in a short while is impossible. Chelas must make repeated efforts in order to experience a true transformation.

Samskaras are seeds of karma. They become deep rooted habits from past lifetimes. Samskaras can be changed or be eradicated by meditation on the fierce aspect of Mothers form.

When one is in divine communication with God, one is absolutely free of attachments. When you adopt a spirit of surrender to Guru and God, you can see Her hand behind everything.
