Satan Quoting The Vedas....... Again!

Varalotti,

Great post! Loving all the sentiments, statements expressed, esp the Rabia Al basri couplets. Short of time, so few words now, the large ocean of appreciation for Varalotti in his spiritual, Luceferian avtar remains unexpressed but profoundly sensed.

Manju(reddy),

Candid replies, love them too. Varalotti was as usual right when he posted in Finest posts that to be able to write like Manjureddy is the greatest blessing of all.

All ILites,

Missing all of you-- no computer at home, no time to log in either. Will be baaack soon.

Love
Vidya(24)

Vidya,

I am really fortunate to receive a short and sweet post from you when you ventured to break out of your hybernation and chose to write in IL.

If as they say brevity is the soul of the wit, your wit is really soulful. About 7 years ago when I asked my Sanksrit Master why they have cut short so many words (of course without making a dent on the meaning) in a particular text, he told me an aphorism in Sanskrit.
ardha maatra laagavena puthrostvam manyanthe.
Meaning that even if one is able to save half a matra (which is roughly half of a syllable) the joy is equal to the birth of a child.

Your short yet packed post gives such a joy. Thanks for that. While on this I have to tell you that to be able to write like you is no less a blessing.

Regards,

Most Gracious ILites,
I have now learnt that Satan Quoting the Vedas is quite amusing to all of you and thanks for the response.
But ladies, will you care to have one more date with the Satan? Just one more? Read the latest Wednesday thread if you will.

This post and SHE 18, the final episode of the controversial serial will be my last posts before I travel halfway across the globe for professional work and stay there for two months. But I assure you that I will take steps to ensure that you do not feel the difference.

Now ladies apart from responding to the new Satan Thread, I want you to wish me and bless me for a hassle-free overseal travel and a fulfilling time over there.

With Love To All,

Dear Sridhar,

I know this is not the apt time to reply as this is very old thread. As you know I am new and I am going thru all your posts during my free time, hence stumbled on this one today but time could not stop me from replying to this post.

I really wonder how you could read my mind. I always have the thought when such a beatutiful, never ending, ever smiling, ever loving (all the superlatives) be in front of us and we dumb humans still ask for something which is so insignificant. In this vast creation which SHE has made, we ourselves are sooooooooo insignificant.

And another point is a mother always knows what to give and when to give to her child, right ? they why ask for it when SHE already knows what we want and when She should give. Are we in life also not running behind insignificants instead of the eternal LOVE ? Your comments please ...............

Sorry I will go on & on like this and my post will become bigger than the original.

Dear Lalitha,

Anytime is apt for replying to a thread like this. And you are free to reply, respond to any of my threads posted during the last three years, any time.

This happened recently.One of my friends was in serious trouble. Clouds of danger were surrounding him from all sides.
He told me that he was going to visit his Acharya who was at a far off place. I casually remarked to him, "Why don't you tell about your troubles to him. He will suggest a way out."
My friend smiled and said," I will have to solve my problems on my own. I am going to my Acharya to just get his blessings. Seeing his kind face I will get the strength to face the problems. If He thinks His intervention is necessary, he will talk to me."

That was a beautiful insight.

And in IL there is no limit to size. I will be happy if your reply is bigger than the leader post.

Now, Lalitha, about a year and a half back, we had a very interesting discussion on what to pray for. Here's the link to that thread.

What to pray for?

It was started by one ILite called "Pooja" . What a coincidence!

In fact I developed the thoughts I expressed in this thread and even made them into a book. The publisher feels the thoughts are a little daring and thence the book has been kept on hold.

When time permits just visit that thread and read all the posts.

Love,
