The philosophy of connecting to mystery and wonder.
Uma Haimavati. Book 111 and 1V Kena Upanisad.
The Devi, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Uma Haimavati are all aspects of the Supreme Goddess, the shakti of the Universe. Uma means light, luminous, serene.
Here is a nice story to read.
Kena Upanisad Book 111 and 1V.
[1. Brahman won a victory for the Gods, and the Gods were triumphing in the victory of Brahman. They thought "This victory is ours! This triumph is ours!"
2. It knew their thought and appeared before them, but they did not know what this wonder was.
3. They said to Agni, "find out what this wonder is."
"I will."
4. He ran up to it, and it spoke to him: "Who are you?"
"I am Agni," he said.
5. "Then what power is in you?"
"I could burn up everything that is on the earth,"
6. It put down a blade of grass before him. "Burn this!"
He approached it with all his force, but could not burn it. Then he went back, saying, "I have not been able to find out what this wonder is."
7. Then they said to Vayu, "find out what this wonder is,"
"I will."
8. He ran up to it, and it spoke to him: "Who are you?"
"I am Vayu," he said.
9. "Then what power is in you?"
"I could carry off everything that is on the earth."
10. It put down a blade of grass before him. "Carry off this!"
He approached it with all his force, but could not carry it off. Then he went back, saying, "I have not been able to find out what this wonder is."
11. Then they said to Indra, "find out what this wonder is."
"I will,"
He ran up to it, and it disappeared. In the same place he came upon a most beautiful woman, Uma Haimavati. He asked her what this wonder was.
Book 1V
1. "Brahman", she said. "You were triumphing in the victory of Brahman."
5. Regarding oneself: Mind seems to go to it: and by the imagination at once remembers.
6. It is called 'the beloved': it should be worshiped as the beloved'.]
Seeds to think upon.
Inquiry into the origin of thought itself and our ideas.
Thinking about thought, where it is, what it is, and learning about thought, is part of a process of inquiry.
Then there is the philosophy, thought, mind, that desires food and water to keep the material body alive, which is eaten by time.
The highest DESIRE being food, water, hunger, thirst, in the material world, can be connected to illusion. The evolving permanent soul as real.
The thought of the inner thinking soul, that communicates thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
Then there is The Pure one who purifies, which is Pure God Consciousness.
So the truth being, that there are the three aspects of the Supreme Goddess, food, water, and who purifies. The Supreme Goddess Jagad-dhatri who is all three and who purifies, and she is the most powerful. The Goddess Of the Universe. Who is both material and spiritual. The Supreme Goddess Jagad-dhatri and Brahman are one and the same energy, passive and active energy, that is everywhere. The Supreme Goddess Jagad-dhatri is Brahman. Tantra is the male and female energy of the Cosmos.
Worshiping faith as truth.
"Those who in the forest worship faith as truth, they dwell in the worlds of Brahma....." "For them there is no returning". Brhadaranyaka Upanisad Book 6 Chapter 2 Section 15. Brahma in this context meaning Brahman. Sree Sree Ma Jagad-dhatri.
Japa on The Mother Devi Jagad-dhatri.
The most important aspect in all this and everything is to worship faith as truth and to be in a place of calm peace, being self-controlled. The Upanisads whole concept is about faith, worship and calm.
So it is.
The five keys.
Faith, Prayer, calm, self-control, fasting.
The five keys.
So it is.
