Just a Thought on saying Brother's and Sister's in the Room

[Guest guest]

It's very nice to say when making a post there to start out by

saying Brother's and Sister's there but aren't ALL of humanity our

brother's and sister's there even though they may NOT know of Amma?

To me it seems very narrow minded when it just applies to those that

know of Amma and just mention it to those who just know of Amma. I

think that AMMA would like to all of us to know that EVERYBODY is our

brother and sister no matter how difficult it may seems. I have been

restling with this for many many years and come to realize that even

the lowest of the low or the worst of humanity is our brother and

sister. And it is up to us as to how we react to it. There will

always be those who are in need and always those that will need our

help regardless of whether one knows of Amma or not. NAMASTE

Namah Shivaya,

 

>..aren't ALL of humanity our brother's and sister's..

 

Good point! Immediately after last year's RI retreat,

Amma blessed me to see everyone as Her children.

Looking at perfect strangers, I would think, "You too

would just melt while meeting our Mother!" It was

such a beautiful experience that enabled me to so much

more fully love everyone. Plus, people responded

delightfully to this attitude!

 

There's an Amma quote that goes something like, "No

matter how far away the leaves of the vine are from

the blossom, they are all part of the same vine.

Therefore, make no mistake about it, likewise, all are

Mother's children." Everyone's Self is one with

Amma's Self, which pretty well shuts out the concept

of exclusion & duality. That's part of what Amma is

showing us with Her perfect example of love &

acceptance of ALL.

 

Everyone may not understand if we were to begin

addressing them as brother or sister, but we could do

it mentally. One related little personal lesson for

me during Amma's last tour, was that it would be

helpful to acknowledge God within everyone. Perhaps

with a mental, "Om Namah Shivaya," ESPECIALLY when

feeling bothered by someone's behavior."

As my karmic mother said, when people are acting the

least loveable, is often when they need the most love.

I feel it's also good to remember that all species &

all of creation are Amma's children.

 

Thank you for bringing up this subject.

 

Love,

 

Sweta

amma considers EVERYBODY as her child. so yes --- we are ALL brothers and

sisters.

 

the good the bad and the ugly --- are all our siblings. whether we like it or

not ;-)
