with Sri Ganesh

- 26-11-08:

Early afternoon of yesterday, the tempest returned in full force; it was then a cyclone and it went on relentlessly up until now – the wrath of Nature, unheeding of the waste and misery it causes… Auroville is littered with fallen branches and whole trees, power lines are ripped off and poles are snapped like broken match sticks, vehicles are stranded… For the first time I was late for Sri Ganesh, by half an hour, as I simply couldn’t pass: all accesses to “Sincerity” were blocked by felled trees and we had to hack our way out. But here itself, in the garden, the damage is minimal, although several large trees have fallen across the road nearby… Yesterday I saw the cyclone actually start from the North East over the heaving, yellowish ocean, and I was in the market in the evening to purchase incense and oils and camphor and all needed things for Sri Ganesh when it was a full deluge and half of the town was flooded and the power went off, and all the shop fronts were blown off and the ground was a formidable mess… I spent for these purchases Rs. 500/- … Sri Ganesh, Douce Mère, Sri Aurobindo, I have been seeing and experiencing the pitiful condition of this physical consciousness: fearful, attached and so terribly limited and bound… … This morning, Sri Ganesh, I girded your crown and your feet with fine foliage and now the deep flaming red of the Shakti bursts from it… It is true, you have become my refuge; it is the right proportion, you do not demand more than I am happily willing to give and there is a key, in this relationship, to an equilibrium which is one the world needs… …When natural forces go thus berserk and human bodies are held here by such tenuous threads, one can’t but aspire to a condition that bridges the worlds in a material way…

In Matter, Let the Will that Sees and Ordains And the will that recognizes and serves Join in living harmony. Aum Namo Bhagavate Shakti King, How to collaborate?
