Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Most all of us have problems in life. Nothing in life is a bed of roses. We all go thru life experiencing ups and downs. The way we handle it is what is important. Not what happens in one's life. One can be angry at life for what it gives us or we can smile and accept what is given. One can curse God for what happens or smile and be happy and thankful for it. I know that everyone's path is different and we have to live with what is given. But AMMA knows best what is for us. Sometimes things looks so bleak that we want to curse God/Goddess. I could tell my tale that would make one's life look like a baby there but I won't. Amma knows best and if we TRUST in AMMA all will work out no matter how we may feel at the moment. Faith is the key. And AMMA is the doorway.

I think it's okay to express anger towards Amma whenever we face fustrating experiences in life. Many years ago when I had visited Amma, She told me not to show my anger toward any human being, but rather to express it toward Her. She told me to write letters to Her or if the matter were too trivial, to speak to Her photo. I agreed. Less than a month later, I unexpectedly had to face many painful experiences.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Anger itself is only a state where we cannot cope with what is happening to us in life. Granted that are many reasons there but as AMMA has said there it will only destroy our well being. It is a hindrance to our spiritual growth. Will the anger we feel today be the anger we feel 5 years or 10 years from now? NO! So what I'm saying is that no matter what in life one faces one's anger will only make one unhealthy and if we take refuge in AMMA it will only seem like a dream for eventually in dreams we do wake up.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 yes, anger ... guilt ... jealousy ... all a waste of time yet very much part of every day life. all ego traps which keep us bonded in samsara. i don't even think the anger you feel NOW would feel the same TOMORROW. but what if you die between today and tomorrow? nobody should die angry. it's everybody's responsibility to put forth the necessary effort of being content with what is given to us. FAITH really is the key. and keep praying. amma wants us to give it all to her. do the names and with every name give her a sorrow until you can give her a flower with each name again. amma is here to take from us. so we should learn how to give. jai ma christiane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
