Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 I certainly agree that uncomfortable situations bring out our vasanas and a chance to change for the better. But I've found too many times that this very "truth" is abused by devotees to rationlize other's unacceptable behavior, allowing them to continue in it. There is no reason why darshan programs couldn't be more pleasant to serve and be served at except for the tamasic tendancies of some participants. But like Jesus said, he didn't come to save the just, but the sinners. I'm guessing Amma's approach is the same. I've always had trouble convincing people that regardless of what a person sees themself as (spiritual or non-spiritual) the actuality is that the majority of people that come to darshan programs are worldly... They're "spiritual" people, but examining their lives and daily actions and true goals, liberation or being a better person is certainly not what's on their minds. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
