Namaste my chelas all over the world.
At times when one enters into the Karmic Space Of Attachment if feels like a shoreless sea that one just has to keep swimming to stay a float.
When attachment has you feeling as if you are drowning in your own desire to possess, one then can begin to see the waiting shore.
Understanding the Karmic Space Of Attachment is not for the faint hearted.
It is quite difficult to understand that you are attached.
There are hidden patterns in your life that exposes this attachment to you and can not be denied.
THIS IS MINE, SHE OR HE IS MINE, MY LOVER MY WIFE MY HUSBAND MINE MINE.
THIS IDEA IS MINE AND THEREFORE I DO NOT HAVE TO LISTEN TO YOU.
All these come under the Karmic Space Of Attachment.
Questioning your thoughts has you begin to understand that there is definitely a sweetness that takes you beyond the SPACE OF ATTACHMENT.
If you are not ready to question your thoughts then the next best thing to do is to examine your actions.
The mystic is one who is only attached to her beloved and when this occurs all else fades away.
The fire burns in the heart of the mystic and one falls into the depths of the hot flames that come when one is in love with the Mother.
Once this burning has been awakened one can not go back to being attached to things possessions or people.
This does not stop one from loving or caring, they just are ready to let go.
There are subtle degrees of attachment.
Yet there is no thing of being attached just a little bit.
Seeking the ultimate spiritual lover one may be drawn into the space of earthly attachment.
The words that one can whisper to themselves are simply, I AM FREE, I LET YOU GO OR I LET IT GO AND I LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
I AM FREE, I LET YOU GO OR I LET IT GO AND I LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
Just practice saying these words to yourself and write in your journal how you feel as you think these words.
My chela writes me and wants to know what of hope?
And so I answer, you are the keeper of your own destiny and living in the path of thy will not mine can have you change your destiny not by surrendering but by having hope that you will be able to.
I use to not refer to the word HOPE simply because i thought that my chelas would not understand the POWER OF HOPE.
Hope separates attachment to anything with a new joy that anything can change.
How one feels in the moment may not live in the vastness of another moment.
Yet hope can have you serve yourself and others in the moment of pain or suffering joy and happiness knowing that the Mother hopes for you to have what you hope for yourself.
When one is learning to accept WHAT IS does not mean that they can not hope to change what is as they accept it.
This is quite intoxicating and also gives way to the freedom of thoughts that you bring to yourself by choice instead of by the ego.
It is one who does not live in hope that can not live in the moment.
This is the hope of love for ones self and for others.
It comes in subtle degrees.
Yet love always arrives complete in the moment.
We are made whole in the moment by the thought of unconditional love and need not be attached to anything when one can feel this passion of love.
The loving touch and glance of the Mother Guru seems to wipe away all thoughts of attachment.
When one is wound up in the bounds of attachment they can not give unconditional love.
One begins to think how much love can be given with out being taken advantage of.
Attachment has you measuring how much love you can give or receive for whom you are attached to.
Unconditional love is a gentle courtship between life and death and into life again.
The judgmental mind screams MINE MINE MINE.
Being in the present moment the knower has rejected the past and brings all that is the past comes into the moment.
One who is caught up in the Cubby Hole Of Attachment constantly lives in past punishment that they may or may not have receive by the hands of others.
They keep punishing themselves for the way they have acted.
To understand that the Mother loves you unconditionally allows you to let go.
I was taught to say to myself all through out my day I AM LOVED, I AM LOVED.
And then to say I LOVE, I LOVE
You then begin to see that I AM LOVED AND I LOVE ARE INDEED THE SAME.
Think of one thing you are attached to.
Write in your journal how it feels to be so attached.
See if you are truly enjoying the person you are attached to or is there so much fear in losing this person that you can not rest in the moment?
Now pretend you are not attached to one person or one thing.
See how it feels how it is to be in the flow of unconditional love and the love of letting go.
Write it all down.
When you are willing to let go then you can fall into the intoxicating intensity of the moment of unconditional love.
It won’t matter if you are giving it or receiving it for the two will be the same.
I love you my chelas,
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at the Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
