Freedom From the Tyrant

 
Kali ~ gouache, India 19thc- early 20thc .jpg

Everything is an opportunity to see our attachment and to let go. When you feel the ego’s hand gripping your throat, say the Mother’s name and let go. Your letting go is the ego’s letting go. Through this moment-by-moment sadhana, you will slowly gain the freedom to respond to everything with discipline, simplicity and love. Our soul cries for freedom from the tyrant, so our Divine Mother Kali comes through the guru and whispers Her most secret and intimate name into our ear, into our heart. When frightened by the tyrant and his weapons, we can whisper it back into HER ear and be safe.
