Mind Matters

  The worship of the feminine has been the most ancient form of worship on the planet, widespread not just in India, but in Europe, Arabia, and large parts of Africa. Unfortunately, in the West, goddess temples were razed to the ground in a concerted attempt to wipe out all traces of so-called paganism, polytheism, and idolatry. The same happened in other parts of the world. India, however, is one culture in which the worship of the feminine has endured. This is also a culture that gave us the freedom to create our own goddesses according to our needs. The science of consecration enabled each village to make its own temple according to its specific local requirements. In almost every village in India, you can find an Amman or goddess temple even today. The masculine has become important in society today simply because we have made the survival process paramount in our lives. Economics has become the driving force, not aesthetics, or dance, or music, or love, or divinity, or meditat...

MOTIVATION TO LIGHT UP YOUR DAY  One is born in a first-class hospital, the other is delivered at home, both survived. One went to a private primary school and the other to a public school, both ended in the same high school. One woke up from the bed and the other woke up on the floor, both had a peaceful sleep. One has expensive attire, the other simple and cheap, both still cover their body. One ate fried rice and roasted chicken, the other ate homemade rice n dal but both filled their hunger.

HAPPINESS  DOESN'T  COME  FROM  HAVING...

  DIVINE LOVE (This lecture is reproduced from the  Vedanta and the West .  See Vol. IV .) ( Delivered in San Francisco area, April 12, 1900 ) [Love may be symbolized by a triangle. The first angle is,] love questions not. It is not a beggar. . . . Beggar's love is no love at all. The first sign of love is when love asks nothing, [when it] gives everything. This is the real spiritual worship, the worship through love. Whether God is merciful is no longer questioned. He is God; He is my love. Whether God is omnipotent and almighty, limited or unlimited, is no longer questioned. If He distributes good, all right; if He brings evil, what does it matter? All other attributes vanish except that one — infinite love. There was an old Indian emperor who on a hunting expedition came across a great sage in the forest. He was so pleased with this sage that he insisted that the latter come to the capital to receive some presents. [At first] the sage refused. [But] the emperor insiste...

  Why? Why Me? When will the other person realize his/her mistake? Why should I be the one forgiving?  Forgiveness is the release of resentment or  anger.  Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. Just as important as defining what forgiveness  is , though, is understanding what forgiveness is  not . Experts who study or teach forgiveness make clear that when you forgive, you do not gloss over or deny the seriousness of an offense against you. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, nor does it mean condoning or excusing offenses. Though forgiveness can help repair a damaged relationship, it doesn’t obligate you to reconcile with the person who harmed you or release them from legal accountability.   Instead, forgiveness brings the forgiver p...
