Enter completely into the deepest tension of love as much as you can. Let this be the discovery of the divinity in you. Surrender to your feminine energies to bloom.
Mira - a great woman, a mystic of India - was truly passionate, a bhakta - devoted to God, in reverent love and ecstasy. She was a queen, but she began to dance in the streets. The family opposed this and even tried to poison her, since she was compromising the entire royal family.
This happened in Rajistan, the most conservative part of the country, where for centuries no one could see a woman's face; it was always covered. And in those days, in this environment, the queen began to dance in the streets. A crowd gathered and she was so drunk with the deity that her sari slid down, her face was revealed, her arms were exposed. The family was very worried. But she sang such beautiful songs, better than anything that was sung in the whole world, because they came from her heart. They were born naturally. She told her husband:
- Don’t believe that you are my husband; my husband is Krishna. You are just a poor semblance.
The king was very angry. He banished her from the kingdom. She came to Mathura, the city of Krishna, where one of the largest Krishna temples is located. The chief priest of the temple made a vow not to see a single woman for the rest of his life, and for the past 30 years he has kept this. But the woman approached the entrance, and he never left the temple. When Mira approached, she began to dance right in the doorway of the temple. The guards were so carried away by her that they forgot to stop her. She entered the temple, she became the first woman in 30 years to enter the temple.
The chief priest was praying to Krishna at this time. When he saw Mira, he couldn't believe his eyes. He's gone crazy. He rushed to her:
- Get out! Woman, go away! Don't you know that women aren't allowed here?
Mira laughed and said:
- As far as I know, with the exception of God, everyone is a woman, you too! After 30 years of worshiping Krishna, do you think you are still a man?
This opened the priest's eyes. He fell at Mira’s feet and said:
“No one has ever said that before, but I see, I feel, it’s true.”
At the very top, if you follow the path of love or meditation, you become feminine.
Mira's love is the love of perfect human existence. She doesn't need anything from Krishna, she just goes towards divinity. She sings for the sake of singing, she dances for the sake of dancing. She doesn't receive anything - she only gives. And she gets thousands of hugs, but that's another matter.
If you want to become Mira, first of all you must satisfy the need of human love. Otherwise your Krishna will be your reflection, a projection of repressed desires. Remember the limitations of human existence and remember your limitations.
Any kind of love is suitable, go for it. Don't strive for the impossible. Go through the possible, let the possible come true, let your being come out of this fulfillment - then the impossible will come true too. Be prepared for this. First go through the joys and little things of human love. You will mature through this.
