i have copied a post regarding the Shakti to open the minds of those
SYs who roar like lions in private but squeak like mice in public.
By this i mean most SYs proclaim and revere Her as the Adi Shakti
durings pujas/meditation but quickly reduce Her as a great subtle
system teacher in public/internet.

Subject: Is Shaktism 'Special'?

Thanks, Msbauju:

Another lovely quote. But I wonder, could these observations be
applied to any conception of the Divine, or are they more or less
specific to Devi and Her worship?

Chidananda says, "Without Her grace, most difficult it is to get an
opportunity to think of Her, to remember Her, to speak of Her, and
to utter Her glorious names, calling upon Her as Mother."

Ramakrishna says that only "through Her grace [does a person's mind]
turn toward Herself."

But is all this just the typical sentiment of many faiths around the
world -- that its own adherents are somehow special, "chosen"
people? Or is this something entirely different?

I've been told by many knowledgeable and experienced sadhaks that
Devi chooses very, very few to worship Her as Supreme -- rather than
simply as consort of some form of Vishnu or Siva (a theory seemingly
supported by the proportional tiny-ness of Shaktism compared to the
other major schools of Hinduism).

But I wonder why this is? Why do these two great sages quoted above
agree that it "most difficult" to "become devoted to the Lotus Feet
of the Divine Mother"? Why does the "grace" that "turns the mind
toward Herself" apparently descend upon so few?

Just curious, in case anyone wishes to share their thoughts ...

Regarding WCASY, we have been told that "it may take a couple of
years for the Council to reach its cruising speed." (BTW, does
anyone know what is the master plan and blueprint for success?) In
this age of instant mass communications and advanced technology it
all sounds more like a trundling bullock-cart than a roaring Porche
911. If past years and effort to attract seekers can be used as a
yardstick to measure success my infamous 8023 AD mathematical
calculation is more fact than fiction.

Maybe they should take notes from members of WCAI (World Council For
The Advancement Of IAMS) who have advanced Amma in proportion that
SYs have balked. When it comes to announcing Amma as the Divine
Mother and Adi Shakti they beat WCASY hands down. Now where will
these people be in a couple of years it will take WCASY to reach its
cruuiiiising speed? i sure hope bulls can run faster in future
......... and sustain that pace to leave the Porche in the dung.
