The lightness of being

When Amma gave me a hug, I was shoved along for the next in line waiting for their turn, and as I walked, I felt a person slip something into my hand. I looked at the banana and thought "she knows!". Surprised, I looked back and saw her smiling right at me, although so many were waiting in line for a hug. As I continued to walk my body became incredibly light and my feet did one step of bouncy moon walk. But then it was gone. In a flash. As soon as I was airborne, I was already back to the ground again and all was as before.

What was that lightness of being? Was my conditioning lifted away for a second? Was it love of God? Was it libeeration for a second? What was it? I don't know for sure. But it was special and will remain special.

Sankarsan is the super soul of Lord Siva

SB 5.25.1

That is why Siva meditates on Lord Ananta or Sankarsan constantly. He is meditating on His paramatma.

Ordinary living entities identify with the false ego because of the dictation of Lord Sankarsan.

If He is pleased with me, surely He will release me from the clutches of ignorance, which is meant for those who wish to Lord over the material creation, considering themselves God.
