There is a movie called 'Devi' by Satyajit Ray. It is about the mother... and how we all have the Devi in ourselves.. but if we don't handle her with reverence, specially in this time and society , we can completely ruin ourselves and those around us. I just completed reading the Which of Portobello. I know for sure that all of us hear the Voice. It is only now that I am beginning to feel the power of the Voice in me and simultaneously, the power that I am getting from this site, you and others like you who are giving me the courage to listen to the voice.

A possible approach can be as suggested by Paulo in his Alchemist, the incidence where a wise man ( paulo !!?? ) teaches a novice ( me ??!!) the secreat of life. My take ( and with which i live ) is that one needs to focus on worldly 'achievement' while at the same time continously remembering the 'bigger-self'. U need to improve your brains performance, normally brain is 'one job at a time' we need to develope this knack of parallel processing, where one is fully involved with the 'present' while being aware of the 'eternal'; at the same time. regards aditya Dear Ishita, Hi ! hope I am not breaking into your discussion.

Do not be a football to other people's opinions .. specially in your Bengali Society. Curve out your OWN values, responsibilities and future course of actions and GO FOR IT. World is your playground.... Love, Debasish Dear Ishita,

What you are going through is “normal” for “Thinking & Exploring” minds of most serious and spiritual persons.

Marie, I am amazed at how you have put your finger on the right spot even without knowing me personally. I thank you for that. Right now I am at cross roads in my life trying to make up my mind on ‘what to live for’? - My self as the earthly existence. With me and my society and success and failure as reflected in these eyes. OR - My bigger self – which is part of the bigger realm of all encompassing consciousness. The kind of existence that Paulo Coelho talks about in his book the Witch of Portobello. I know the answer should be easy – the bigger self. But living in my current reality and happiness, it is very difficult to even think of giving it up. Am trying to look for a middle path and your insights and comments are helping me tremendously.

it is confronting your fears,

I have to become my best friend , I am the number One in my life. Why? Because nobody knows what goes inside my head better thanI.Iam the problem problem and I also am the solution. Start small and build on it. What are your strengths? your weaknesses? Others are mirrors and you will see your weaknesses and strengths in them Turning point : what are your fears? conquer them! Do not loose sights that what we are saying to ourselves is what fuels our engine either in a positive or negative way. Focus on the emotion, not so much on the thinking. Do not resist change, go with the flow, it will strenghten you. Love M.Ch Dear Ishita,

My only question is, how do I define the "you" that you have mentioned in your comment. Who am I? Is it only ME and MY body and MY soul? Part of my philosophy is, I am just like a drop of water that falls into a lake. The ripples that my drop creates, is the only impressions that I leave in this entire macrocosm of existence. But they are just ripples... they are transient and eventually get lost in the bigger body of the water. So while my existence lasts, should I consider only MYSELF , MY time and MY space as the center of my focus or would it also make some sense to consider the larger “lake” of universal existence in which each one of us are just but only a drop of water. I am still looking for an answer. Thanks for your comment Marie- Christine and I appreciate and agree to your point.
