It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
In course of conversation Mataji said:
World means that which is in constant flux and thus illusory. This pandal (canopy) in which you are sitting now will not remain to-morrow - therefore it is transitory.
Just as a tree did not exist earlier and will not be in existence much later, thus it is impermanent.
Why do you not aspire towards Truth and Eternity?
According to the doctrine of Vedanta or Advaita, name and form are regarded as illusory.
To think of name and form as separate from That which Is - this indeed is false.
In the case of a living Vigraha (Concrete External Presence as form) there is no transitoriness.
You are true, enlightened, the Atma (Self) beyond all names. You are the Atma Itself, free, Knowledge Itself.
So long as God has existed, Maya is also in existence. But God is beyond Maya- just like the external relationship between water and ice. Exactly as ice is nothing but water, so Nirakara, the Formless and Sakara, God-with-Form are one and the same.
