and my trance gave way to the sight of outward
objects, which I kept looking upon for sometime;
when I observed a flaming fire suddenly rising in
the forest to my view. It was a bright as a big
white cloud, and as brilliant as the shining orb
of the moon.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotussutra.wordpress.com&blog=5858905&post=255&subd=lotussutra&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A very Happy New Year to all from Lotus Sutra. 
Kali Maa represents destructive aspect of Nature, but the deeper significance is that she destroys egos. The garland of heads you see around her neck are the egos she&#8217;s vanquished. She&#8217;s prakruti(nature) and shiva under her feet is Purusha(primordial being)
So this year may our egos be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lotussutra.wordpress.com&blog=5858905&post=223&subd=lotussutra&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When there is association with the good, there is the state of non-attachment.
When there is the state of non-attachment, there is freedom from delusion.
When there is freedom from delusion, there is the state of self-abidance.
When there is self-abidance, there is jIvanmukti.
[Sankaracarya's Bhaja Govindam verse 9 
via ACALAYOGA.

Have faith! Reciting the Name of the Lord is not the first, but the last stage of spiritual practice! When lions enter the forest, the other animals run away. Likewise, all evil thoughts will vanish with the recitation of the Lord's name. Reciting the Name of the Lord will bring you the company of a good people and you will be near saints. Blessed are the few who will discard the kingdom of the world for the Lord's name. Such a devotee always resides in My heart. In the womb, you take a vow not to get attached; but as soon as you come out, you get entangled. Abandon attachment! Your mind plays tricks on you! That is why you are after pleasures! All worldly things - including the desire for liberation - are obstacles to which you are attached. If you want divine peace, leave behind ignorant karma.
