Dancing with God
|
Saturday, June 23, Los Angeles
Where God dances there the lovers of God will be. An Incarnation
is the Divine Itself. And so when Mother dances, the Divine
dances, and we dance with Her.
This dancing tends to happen if the morning darshan program
on the second day, a retreat, ends early enough. Suddenly
the hall staff starts moving chairs and cushions and backpacks,
and the word spreads: Mother is going to dance!

After the last hug, She stands, holding the cymbals that
She will play while She dances. She tells the children to
dance in place, imagining that they are dancing with their
beloved Deity. Her graceful Hands begin ringing the bells
together; a couple of devotees holding tambourines nearby
take up Her rhythm, and someone starts to sing.

Usually in the past She has sung "Ram, Ram, Sita Ram"
but in Los Angeles a few days ago She danced to an exciting
song - "Ti thi tara ti thi thai ti Thai taka tai tai
tom. Tai tai tai tai tai tai tai tai tai ti Thai taka tai
tom."

Having danced in place for some time, Mother began to move
gracefully to Her right, step-by-step moving near each of
Her children in the circle. She dances with Her eyes closed,
taking graceful, rhythmic steps as She marks the time with
Her cymbals. With Her Eyes closed, this day She turned a bit
early and ended up crossing across the middle of the circle
and going straight into the people standing on the opposite
side! She was gently guided back, still dancing, until, with
the music at its peak, She again stood dancing in place, a
smile of joy playing across Her Face.
And then suddenly She stopped, sat, meditated.
