I believe she has covered the power of mind and spirit with physical senses pretty well.

In India, the concept of God as Mother as survived the centuries. The feminine as a sacred principle or an aspect of God is still condsidered today. Some say what the world lacks the feminine spiritual aspects of divine compassion. What do you think....?

Wow, that is a great perspective. I never thought of identifying with the senses, and having them take me over, though in my past I've worked in the arts and photography which pulled me in that direction, and then radio which drew me to the aural sense. A few years ago I became obsessed with food and wine and again got pulled into one of the five senses.

It is only lately that I've gone further with the investigation of being more mindful.

It is inspirational to read about the realization of things that are so amazing. It makes me hopeful for my own personal journey though my direct goal is reaching a little understanding of myself, and then moving towards any understanding of us as a society and people.

Alright, now I have to balance that out by littering or something. Well, I would have to pick up after myself but you know, I'm trying to balance it all out (grin).

Here is another quote from "the blissful mother": "Do not pay attention to the faults of others. It..defiles the mind, and adds to the load of the world's sin. Therefore try to see only the bright side of things in whatever you perceive. It is the good and beautiful which are true and living, whereas the bad and ugly are only the shadow of what really is. To find fault with others creates obstacles for everyone all around: for him who critizes, for him who is blamed, as well as for those who listen to the criticism. Whereas, what is said in a spirit of appreciation is fruitful to everybody."
