BHAKTI AND SHAKTI ( A Teamwork of the devotee and the Divine)

"This is not mastery of one over the other, this is a meeting of two masters. A jugalbandi, a duet. The eternal meditator at the transcendence and the eternal energy force tapping at the manifest. You realise, that meditation, beginning as a step of introduction, turns into a mystical stairway leading higher and higher into a crescendo.
The force of energy, is the most unfathomable, yet the simplest of all. It infact, is so simple, that you cannot fool it, that is its innate nature, a sort of self defence mechanism against
ill conceived manipulation and contriving.
So, you do have examples of people using this energy for ulterior gains, for malevolence rather than benevolence, for chaos rather than harmony, for regression, rather than evolution. But, these are unfriendly rhythms. If, your rhythm becomes unfriendly, the dance will not last long. If your rhythm remains friendly, all old intimations come back, and you will grow where you left.”


“Old intimations? grow from where we left?”
“Yes, this is not the effort of one man, nor of one lifetime, this is the conscious teamwork of millions over millenniums. Men, who loved God and man alike, who wanted for humanity to be delivered unto everlasting peace and prosperity. To evolve consciously into a better tomorrow. Men, who had realised they may be here again, so it would not only be wise, but also practical to leave the world a better place. At any rate, they were conscious of the fact, that even if they made their final exits, many would still be left behind, and new arrivals would always keep happening.
