\u201cYou are me, and yet you are each fully your own persons, and different\u201d, Lady Shakti whispered as she embraced the Ladies. \u201cAnd Padmasambhava is my husband, and yet he is not; he is his own person as well. All three of you are amazing\u201d, she glowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you, Lady Goddess, are our self-realization, and yet, you are a distinct person, and we don\u2019t melt into you, but rather we each glow stronger with your power, that is ours as well, and greater when we embrace you\u201d, Mandarava whispered back. \u201cHolding you in my arms is like holding my own soul, that is also my mother\u201d, a tear glistened in her eye. \u201cIt is not merely an honour for us. This is much, much more\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is such a wonder, feeling my own soul grow brighter as I look at you, Lady Shakti; as if you were my source, and yet we are distinct; as if you gave birth to me, and not like I\u2019m being re-absorbed into you, but like I\u2019m growing from you, and rejoicing to meet my source\u201d, Yeshe Tsogyal bowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you, Lord Padmasambhava\u201d, Shakti curtsied. \u201cYou feel like my husband, to the point where I might forget myself, and yet you are your own, like a tree that grew from a root of an older tree, and is the same and yet its own\u201d, she smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am honoured to be in your most holy presence, Lady Tara\u201d, Padmasambhava bowed deeply. \u201cAnd I see that what I called Avalokiteshvara is in fact Lord Shiva\u201d, he bowed to the Great Lord.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, we now for the first time have not a Divine Couple, but a Divine Triple?\u201d, Lord Shiva smiled at them. \u201cIt never happened before, but I see how it works just fine\u201d, he nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cAren\u2019t you girls somewhat jealous of each other?\u201d, Shakti winked mischievously.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs your left eye jealous because your right eye joins it in beholding your husband?\u201d, smiled Yeshe Tsogyal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are indeed your daughters\u201d, laughed Lord Shankara. \u201cEnlightened, wise and pure. Also crisp as the frost under the blue winter sky. I bow to all three of you\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we bow to you, Great Lord, Master and Source of Yoga, Creator and Destroyer of Worlds\u201d, Mandarava bowed to Shiva and Shakti both.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh wow\u201d, gasped Lady Shakti.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed\u201d, nodded her husband. \u201cThey know\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe bow to you, LordLady of the Golden Fire, the origin and the endpoint\u201d, bowed Padma Sambhava.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had your turn, Mother; let the rest of us get to know them\u201d, Zina giggled and embraced Lady Shakti from behind, lifting herself to her toes to see over her Mother\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are indeed honoured to know you, Lady Buddha\u201d, Padmasambhava smiled. \u201cI feel like we have known each other since forever, and as if we\u2019re connected by fate\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat might indeed be so, since you were conceived when your casters wept over her\u201d, nodded Lord Buddha. \u201cAnd you are indeed giants, while I feel like a dwarf in your presence\u201d, he bowed to the three.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the contrary, Lord Shakyamuni; we but developed a roof upon the foundations and a house that you yourself built\u201d, Mandarava replied, and all three bowed deeply.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had such a terrible time recently, watching two thousand years of our progress in the West coming seemingly to ruin, as abject savagery took over the ruins of both Rome and Persia\u201d, Azrael joined them. \u201cAnd what a comfort to our hearts it is to see the three of you!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an honour to meet you, Lord Yama\u201d, Padmasambhava and his two wives bowed together, as Azrael\u2019s Title changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re honoured to meet you, most honoured Ladies and Lord\u201d, Christ and his Lady bowed together.<\/p>\n
\u201cLight of the World, and the True Church of Christ, we salute you\u201d, they bowed back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see your insight is as impeccable as the rest of your perfections\u201d, Lord Azazel bowed, impressed greatly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes one to know one, Blade of Discernment\u201d, Padmasambhava grinned at him and bowed back, and his Ladies joined him. \u201cAnd I see the Goddess of Wisdom at your side, as well\u201d, they bowed to Lady Kay.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m in love with all three of you already\u201d, Mind of God was elated. \u201cWe\u2019ll have so many great meditations and conversations together\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking forward to it, my Lady\u201d, Yeshe Tsogyal smilingly hugged the bouncy girl, as Mandarava ruffled her hair.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wonder why Mary merged with me, and didn\u2019t emancipate herself like the three of you\u201d, Lady Lakshmi bowed and came to embrace them. \u201cBut I think I can understand. The three of you grew into huge independent trees of wisdom and yoga<\/i>. You went through the entire God-forming process of multiple successive initiations, both independently and together. It strengthened you to the point where you are not mere shadows cast upon Earth by the Primordials; you grew to be independent Suns that shine with their own light. All three of you are deserving of the highest praise\u201d, she bowed again, and was embraced by the women, while Padmasambhava bowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat Goddess, it is a blessing to be in your holy presence, as you are Blessing and Fortune itself. May your light forever guide and inform our paths\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll three of you are incredibly amazing\u201d, smiled Lord Vishnu. \u201cYou exceeded our wildest hopes of what is possible, and at the darkest of times, after we suffered a great setback in other parts of the material world, at the hands of Satan\u201d, he mused. \u201cYou demonstrated that one can close the full circle to godhood on Earth, that tulkus<\/i> can emancipate themselves to be Gods in their own right, and that a God-couple of one man and one woman isn\u2019t the only possible form of the goal of evolution. Tell me, how did you manage it?\u201d, he wondered.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeaking of amazing, you are peerless, Lord Krishna\u201d, they all bowed. \u201cAs to how we managed it, it is simple. We followed the teachings of the Buddha. We practiced vipassana<\/i> and tummo<\/i>, attained purity and detachment on the lower four elements, and became jewels in the lotus. We worshipped each other in every way and we were claimed as the Self of God\u201d, Mandarava replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cWeren\u2019t you tempted to form a couple?\u201d, Vishnu wondered.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. We felt such spiritual kinship that removing one from it would feel like abandonment of the Goal itself. So, whatever goal it was that we achieved, we knew that we must achieve it together\u201d, Yeshe Tsogyal replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so you did\u201d, nodded Lord Shiva. \u201cAll praise to the three of you\u201d, he bowed in blessing, as their souls glowed as one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
