The Divine child - AK

Oh! Most noble child of the Crazy Kali,
Your soul is poetic and your song is mystic
But why doubt your own Mother?
She who is worshiped by the Trinity
and who is Divine Love personified
Will she forsake her own child?
Nay, Never, Not once in an eternity.

How can ignorance catch hold of thou?
Thou has risen from the Womb of Perfection
From Perfection is born Perfection
and what remains is only Perfection
So have declared the glorious seers of yore
who drank the holy milk of the Vedas.

You weep for your Mother
Who protects you in her very bosom
Shun this misery and bother
Arise, Awake and Shine
from the deep slumber of Maya,
You are Divine!  You are Divine! You are Divine!

Meditation and thoughts....

Whatever thoughts and emotions arise in meditation, allow them to rise and settle, like the waves in the ocean. Whatever you find yourself thinking, let that thought rise and settle, without any constraint. Don’t grasp at it, feed it, or indulge it, don’t cling to it, and don’t try to solidify it. Neither follow thoughts nor invite them; be like the ocean looking at its own waves, or the sky gazing down on the clouds that pass across it. You will soon find that thoughts are like the wind; they come and go. The secret is not to “think” about the thoughts but to allow them to flow through your mind, while keeping your mind free of afterthoughts.

Edge of the Cliff - God

When God leads you to the Edge of the Cliff, Trust Him fully and Let Go, Only One of Two Things will happen, Either He'll Catch You When You Fall, Or He'll teach You How to Fly! "

refutation 1:I think this question doesn't even arise, since God is leading you right ;) The trust that God is leading you doesn't leave any space for doubts and questions.

refutation 2:For a person with complete faith, the thought may not arise. But, it is obviously meant for someone who's faith is still not 100% firm. Why,  even Jesus during his last moments cried out - "Why Lord have you forsaken me..." - something like that.  The real test of the firmness of one's faith is when one is on the edge of a cliff...most of the times, we are not on the edge, in fact we are far from the edge.
