SATI - THE CORE OF SADHANA
As she steps in to the fire the flames fear to engulf her the embers stay away in reverence of her presence , Agni bowes at her feet in inability to touch her such is her Divinity , yet she stares strong and in that one stare the message is conveyed the message that the act was to be fulfilled as per her divine plan and thus Agni engulfs her within, as every part of her burns to nothingness there in burns not only the Goddess but the Wife, the Daughter, The Divine Consort and everything else attached to the name SATI , the pain she willingly accepts so that the body can now be a source of divinity for many crores of people as Shaktipeethas in the Mrityulokha , the plan was already laid and everyone else there were just playing their parts in the Divine Act. As she burns she does not crib nor cry nor feel dejected but with solidarity she burns that this will lead to a higher purpose.
Thus in our life too we may encounter what SATI did irrational father, silent mother who supports that, many people surrounding that who don't really care deeply, Husband who can't understand one' s internal plight, all the designs were already there but when we step into the burning yagna of Sadhana we must burn completely letting away all that comes from this Name all relations,happiness,sorrow,good,bad everything must go and we must let the Agni engulf us completely for us to Detach from within and attain that spiritual height that we are meant to reach.
But is it time yet to step in to the fire ? Or are we already burning in it ? Only time can tell as we progress
A Body lit in the pyre has no means to comeback what it can do is move forward and burn completely and thus once you take the first step the only way is forward to Burn completely until everything attached with this identity burns away and what's left is.....
KALI.......ONLY KALI....
SATI BURNT NOT ONLY TO GIVE SHAKTIPEETHAS BUT TO SHOW THAT THIS IS THE PATH.
