the Divine feminine
Swamiji makes some pretty strong and striking statements here.
The one that really hit my gut was about the nature of life. Life is passive, even lazy. Life is not active. Activity is born out of restlessness, a masculine energy. That which seeks its pleasure outside of itself is masculine.
And the person I remembered was my great grandmother, a very old old lady who passed her time on her bed, cutting vegetables for her neighbor's kitchen, with a song on her lips.
Before my grandmother passed away, she would say again and again, 'All I want to do is to live with you and cook for you.'
My grandfather too had a lot of feminine energy, he silently beamed warmth and affection, a deep and unconditional love for us. In his last days, when he couldn't talk much, he would open his can of dry fruits and hand us some cashews.
I wonder, is that what I really seek from a Guru, the bliss of childhood, when love was as simple as a chocolate?
And I find myself looking forward to old age, if it is going to make me more and more feminine.
