We mentioned earlier that there are worlds, and even whole galaxies, where one or another of the three gunas predominates. People may ask with seeming reasonableness, “How can even a master know anything about distant galaxies?” The answer is that in samadhi, he is already there! Once the ego has been transcended, the only real barrier to omnipresence is demolished.
The rajasic galaxies are like our own, filled with beings who strive incessantly to fulfill their desires. Such galaxies abound with restlessness, dissatisfaction, and anxiety. Their inhabitants “have it good,” however, compared to those in the tamasic galaxies, where ferocious beasts prowl in ceaseless search of prey, and cannibalism among human beings is common. There, all is warfare, conflict, violent emotions, primitive conditions, and mental dullness
⚜️The man’s desire for God realization never perishes, though he may not accept and know it. He has a desire from this heart to be completely happy, free from all bondages and distresses. This is the desire for God realization. This desire is certainly satisfied, because this is the real and true desire of a creature.
⚜️Being a slave to perishable things is the main reason that does not allow us to turn to the imperishable. To consider money as the greatest of all, is the sign of a deluded intellect.
⚜️"It should happen this way, it should not happen this way" – in this outlook, there are all sorrows. If there is anything that you desire from the world, then you will have to experience suffering.

SIMPLE LIVING AND HIGH THINKING
🌿Kindly develop faith in the Vedas and in the power of Mantras. Practise Japa and Meditation daily. Take Sattvic food. Do not overload the stomach.
🌿Obey the laws of nature. Take plenty of physical exercise daily. Perform the prescribed duties at the appointed time. Develop simple living and high thinking. You will realise God in this very birth.
🌿May you remember the Holy Names of the Lord at all times and live in an ocean of divine ecstasy and divine communion! May you prosper gloriously!

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” ― Carl Gustav Jung

Sri Ramakrishna used to say to the DivineMother "Mother, another day is gone and I havenot seen Thee!"
A
Every night before you go
to bed, think for awhile how much time you have spent
in doing gooddeeds, how much again
in doing
useless things;
how much time you have utilised in meditation andhow much you have wasted in idleness. Makeyour mind strong through Tapasya
f austerity)
and Brahmacharya (continence)

Death of ego is the birth of the soul.
A
Now one knows thoughts, dreams and reality are not different there is no distinction because awareness can't distinguish.
A
Happiness is Advaita - non-dual. Mind is misery. Life is only happiness. Happiness is climate.
A
What is this life? If death comes and takes it, what is this life? What meaning does it carry if one is so impotent against death?
Remember, after birth everybody is on his deathbed. There is no other way. Because after birth only one thing is certain, and that is death.
Now there is no ego - there's a real-life, authentic life, which is beyond death. Because ‘ego' knows death and soul is eternal.
A
How difficult is the attainment of a human birth!
Yet it is only in this human birth that God-realisation is possible. Strive hard in this life and reach
that state from which you
will not have to comeback.
A
Every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra.
🌿Even if a person hurts you, give him love. The worst punishment is to throw someone out of your heart. You should love everyone as God, and love each other. If you cannot love each other, you cannot achieve your goal.
🌿See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away.
🌿The whole universe is our home and everyone residing in it belongs to our family. Instead of trying to see God in a particular appearance, it is better to see him in everything.
🌿The best service you can do is to keep your thoughts on God. Keep God in mind every minute. Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank.

MOONLIGHT - BHAKTI

Evidently we are born with evil Samskaras
(impressions) and these stand in the way of our
spiritual progress.
A
The word Vishnu (विष्णु) comes from the Dhatu Vish (विष) which means to enter or to cover.
The word Vishnu originates from the below Samasa:
व्याप्नोति विषतिवा सर्वं इति विष्णुः
Vyapnoti Vishativa Sarvam Iti Vishnuhu
Meaning: The one who surrounds (or is outside) everything and inside everything
This is how the name Vishnu originates according to Samskritum.
A
Practise Japam
at dead of night.
If you
cannot do it at that time, do it during
the early
hours of the morning. Perform Purascharana*.
Do not waste your
valuable time any
more. Lose
yourself in prayer and meditation. All inner
*Usually it implies regular Japam or the repetition of the
name of the Deity a prescribed number of times, followed by
Homa and other ceremonies. Additional Jtipam is also permissible in place of these ceremonies.

So jdols are just as good as Sky-guys if you are seeking service and benefits.

In purely mental Japam
the Mantram (name
of
the Deity) is to be repeated without moving the
lips.

Ofcourse, by worshipping the Supreme goddess Durga you are worshipping the Tridevas as she is Brahma rupini(Lalitha sahasranama 265th name), Govinda Rupini (Lalitha sahasranama 267th name) and Rudra Rupini (Lalitha sahasranama 269th name)
Further looking at Narada Purana
The person who always worships Goddess Kāli, has actually worshipped Devatās like Brahmā,Viṣṇu, Śiva, Gaurī, Lakśmī, Ganapatī and Suryā(Ravī).
