Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Jai Ma! Satsang Amma's words Mother and Innocence Children, now you are like little babies. You play and laugh with Mother, enjoying Her company. But you do not understand what Mother is doing or who Mother really is. You look only at the external Mother. Hardly anyone is interested in the Supreme Consciousness that lies behind; there is no urgency to know the Self within. You don’t really want the real Mother. When a baby cries, the mother puts a pacifier in the baby’s mouth, and the baby sucks on it. What a hungry baby really needs is milk. But here, babies feel content with sucking milkless pacifiers. The external world is like a pacifier. You children feel satisfied with the laughter and the play. You amuse yourselves with the objects of the senses. Mother comes to where you children are playing and puts food in your mouths. Because you are so engrossed in your play, you don’t appreciate the value of the food that Mother gives you. You won’t advance if you just keep wandering around visiting temples and holy places. My children, you should cultivate the spirit of innocence. Your innocence and purity of heart will save you. Anything is possible with the faith and trust of a child. Exclusive Video Premiere - Britney Spears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't really want the real Mother. Wow! what words She has used to describe us! If She had thrown dynamite at us, that should have been less hurting. We usually see the "loving, compassionate side" of Amma. With these words we get to see the how Amma creates an "evaluation report" - it sounds more like a clarion call to rise higher up in consciousness. Applicable equally well to me as well as you. Just some thoughts that struck me while i read this. Jai Ma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I agree... I feel like she's calling my bluff! But she's right in my case, of course. Like I said a few days ago, "Mother, when will I realize that You are everything?"

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Namah Shivaya dear Listers, I too was very struck by the serious tone of this message. Not unusual when Amma is talking to the renunciates, but more unusual to appear before such a wide readership. It certainly brings back the feelings of urgency that the paper distributed in RI evoked. Especially: >> My children, you should cultivate the spirit of innocence. Your innocence and >> purity of heart will save you. Anything is possible with the faith and trust >> of a child. This sounds very serous! Like, it¹s practically impossible to save you, but maybe if you can achieve innocence and purity of heart..... Thanks for posting this, Ravi. I too feel very confronted. Like a child who just caught caught by Mom with my hand in the cookie jar. How does this adult with all these well developed negativities become as innocent as a child whose negativities lie dormant? How is it possible without Amma's grace? But She tells us we must do the work to receive Her grace: "Dedication is the most essential aspect. The more dedicated you are, the more open you remain. The more open you are, the more love you experience. The more love you have, the more grace you experience." May we all grow more dedicated to the path of Self-inquiry. May we be more loving today than we were yesterday. Bowing to that Path and Her Love. premarupa Aum Amriteshvaryai Namah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
