IAM / Confidentiality - Swami's answer

Namah Shivaya.

 

I had the opportunity to do the IAM sessions this weekend at Atlanta.

 

It is an intense and stilling experience. I sure am glad to be able

to learn it under Swami Dayamrita Chaitanya's guidance. As a friend

of mine put it "Amma's grace is so totally behind this initiative

that it is impossible to miss it."

 

 

 

Swami gave a very delightful answer to the question of

confidentiality about this technique... In light of the many

(unfortunately heated and distinctly partisan) e-mails, I still

thought I will risk sending this one just because I know some folks

will love the answer.

 

The bad news is that I don't recollect the answer fully (I am bad at

remembering details), but I will try!

 

He started his answer by asking us if we had seen the latest Star

Wars movie. This statement was so incongrous with the setting that I

laughed out in anticipation of what was to follow, and lost some

details... Anyway, he asked us about how the movie plot developed

(this went for about a minute or so), and asked when the protagonist

(Jedi?) went to battle, what did his master tell him?

 

It seems his master told him "Do not leave the ship"

 

Yet our man had to leave the ship (Swami's comment: He disobeyed his

master), learned of his mother's death, and in a fit of fury, killed

all the citizens.

 

Swami's take on this: The master knew of his prowess, and feared for

its potential misuse, hence the precautionary advice.

 

The point is: The IAM is a powerful technique. It can be handled /

wielded only by skilled practioners, not by novices... If novices /

unauthorized persons try to impart the knowledge, it can end up

harming not only the recipient, but very likely the giver also.

 

Concluding words: The confidentiality is for your own protection,

not Amma's or the M.A. Center's.

 

Jai Ma!

This made me smile. I remember when Dayamrita came for the Manhattan one-day

retreat last year, he spoke almost entirely in movie metaphors (Star Wars, first

and

foremost)! I can't remember if he mentioned it or someone else did, but

apparently,

he went to film school before becoming a renunciate! Love, Iswari =)
