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
Mother used to teach different ways of sadhana to different people. She would, however, give prominence to jnana marga, the path of Self-inquiry.
One of Her first devotees, after having received his first lessons, went to the Himalayas and on his return said, “I am He, who will practice and what?” When this reached Mother’s ears She sent for him and took him to task for trying to pass for a realized soul and thereby defraud people. Mother would never tolerate any of Her devotees trying to pass for a jnani and would at once expose them.
She used to say, “Nowadays sadhus read a few pages from the standard authors, commit to memory some verses, and with this stock-in-trade start a campaign for making disciples. There is no hope for such cheats.”
