Spiritual Life

The great mystic Teresa of Avila was complaining to God in prayer about all the trials and tribulations she had to go through.

God answered her prayer and said to her: "This is how I treat my friends". Teresa answered: "That's why you have so few of them!"

Kali Devi

"I am Great Nature, consciousness, bliss, the quintessence, devotedly praised. Where I am, there are no Brahma, Hara, Shambhu or other devas, nor is there creation, maintenance or dissolution. Where I am, there is no attachment, happiness, sadness, liberation, goodness, faith, atheism, guru or disciple."


"Ya Devi Sarvabhuthesu Shakthi-Rupena samsthithaa

Namasthasmai Namasthasmai Nanasthasmai Namo Namaha "

Kali's Child

Rabi'a

Once upon a time Rabi'a fasted, prayed and stayed awake for seven days and nights. Then somebody brought her a bowl of food. Rabi'a accepted it, and went to find a lamp- but when she came back with the lamp she saw that a cat had knocked over the bowl. "So I'll drink water instead, " she said to herself, and went to find the water-jug - but by the time she came back with it, the lamp had gone out. "Then I'll drink my water in the dark," she said - but then, without warning, the jug fell out of her hands, and broke into a thousand pieces. At that point she cried out, loud, loud, loud, almot loud enough to set the whole house on fire: "God! God!" she cried, "What are You trying to do to me?"

"Be careful," a Voice answered. "If you really want me to, I'll fill your heart with all the pleasures of This World, and empty it of all your care for Me. You want something and I want something, and these desires cannot be mixed."

After this, Rabi'a gave up all wordly hope.

Kali

My Mother is the principle of consciousness. She is Akhanda Satchidananda; indivisible Reality, Awareness, and Bliss. The night sky between the stars is perfectly black. The waters of the ocean depths are the same; The infinite is always mysteriously dark. This inebriating darkness is my beloved Kali.
-Sri Ramakrishna
