🌻 Verse: Kena margena … “O Lord, how does man, who occupies a body, become one with God? - 2 🌻
If the pains are felt by you, it means that you are experiencing them as your own pains.
You are under the delusion that you are the body. Hence, the pains are experienced by you as your own pains. “Is there no way to identify myself with God?
Is this pain unavoidable? Is there no way out of this? Should I continue under this illusion that I am the body? Should I keep claiming this pain as mine?
Even if I do not intentionally say so, are you making me say it? Is there not a way to escape this? How to be rid of this illusion? Is there no way for me to regain my identification with the Supreme Soul?
O Lord God, Please grant liberation to this being. I offer my prostrations at your feet. Please show mercy upon me.” Mother Goddess is offering prayers.
Mother Goddess is here repeatedly praying to the Lord. Just like humans who keep asking Guru, “O Guru, you still have not given me.” “What do you want?” “I asked you the other day. You still have not given it to me.
Please give it to me.” Mother Goddess is repeatedly falling at the Lord’s feet and is begging Him. Does it mean that the Lord has forgotten? No. He is not being reminded nor is he being subjected to demands.
That is not what it means. That is the way to pray. Mother Goddess is here speaking as if she has also fallen into the delusion of identifying herself with the body.
We may wonder why she is behaving like this. Has she also fallen into the delusion (Maya) that she is the body? It is not correct to think like that.
Mother Goddess knows that it is only when she also behaves like the rest of us, that the Lord will disclose to us the secret in its entirety. By this we understand what immense compassion Mother Goddess has (towards us).
