Discomfort forces us to grow. It's easy to point to other people or external situations as the source of our suffering. Blame only obscures the lesson we're meant to learn. Distress reveals where we haven't surrendered to God's will. It's His way of saying, "this is where you have work to do."

Aligning ourselves to Krsna's will is a joyous journey. It requires aligning our thoughts to His will. It's not easy. A mind can change a bazillion times a second. But, it can be done through fastidious control. Liberation is the reward. Every thought aligned to God's will is a step closer to Him.

..."Srimati Radharani is known as Madan Mohan Mohini which means she captures and bewilders even He who bewilders Cupid. She is Vrindavaneshvari, She is goddess, the queen of Vrindavan because all of Vrindavan is an emanation of Her potency which is for Krishna’s enjoyment."

Because devotional life promises honest, forever love, it asks for sacrifice. The hours of focused meditation, service, & austerity are perpetual balancing acts. The trick,(for me,) is to remember to act with love. If the sacrifice is work, not devotion, the promise is meaningless.

Radha & Krsna's love affair symbolizes the soul's relationship with God. Radha represents the purity of the soul, while Krsna embodies infinite love & mercy. It transcends material nature & is therefore eternally spotless. Their gorgeous intimacy exemplifies the spiritual connection we forever seek.

"In the realm of love, there is no greater devotion than that which Radha feels for Krishna. Hers is the love that transcends all barriers, for in her heart, the soul and the Divine become one. It is not a love that asks, but a love that surrenders, a love that binds the eternal with the infinite."

Sri Radha is a strict Mother
so, i don't dare feel sorry for myself
still.. the weight of junk memories
steals my smile
it is here, I discover
Mother is a gentle revelation
delicious wisdom jam
"you are grieving for what is not real,"
She says softly.
"you are wasting tears
on an illusion."
