""For about five days now I have been singing, "engrossed is the bee of my mind in the blue lotus feet of my divine mother. Divine mother my divine mother, divine mother, my divine mother".
"When I was with my guru and he pointed to the women in the room and said “Who are they?" and I said "they're your devotees”. He said no. I said “I don't know, who are they?" and he said Ma, they’re the mother.
So I went through that trip, all women are the divine mother. Wow that’s beautiful. I went through a number of changes in my head reregistering and I'm just finishing with that and he points to the men in the room, the sadhus and he says, “Who are they?" I said I don't know. He said “Ma … they're all the divine mother” and I was like “wow”.
So what I’m doing that by singing that… now I’m only singing that because it really turns me on to sing it all day. It gets me very high to keep singing, “engrossed is the bee of my mind, in the blue lotus feet of my divine mother.”
I’m driving on the super highway. And I’m going to Maine, to Colby. And I’m on route 95 and I’m going 90 miles an hour. And I’m looking for police, and the cement is stretching out before me, and I’m looking at my wristwatch and I’m eating life savers or mints, or what ever those things are.
And I’m looking at the trees and all of this and I’m thinking of going to Colby and feeling my back and in the midst of this I’m singing “engrossed is the bee of my mind in the blue lotus feet of my divine mother.
Now as a method, what I’m doing is perceiving all form … all form, in such a way that I am loving and honoring it, what ever it is. What ever it is.
Engrossed is the bee of mind in the blue lotus feet of my divine mother. The divine mother now is the cement road, it’s the police I’m looking for, it’s the feeling of the car, is the body. It’s where I’m going to, it’s where I came from. It’s all part of the divine mother. And engrossed is the beeeeeee of my mind, bzzzzz going from flower to flower, from thing to thing. Mint, drive cop, heat accelerator, Colby, Boston, memory, later, before, the bee of my mind is engrossed in the blue lotus feet of my divine mother.
