IAM meditation question to Amma

[Guest guest]

I have not taken IAM, partly because I cannot promise to do it every

day. I asked Amma last night in San Ramon what she felt about the

suitability of IAM for me. She said that sadhana was always good.

I also asked her whether the technique indeed came from her, as she

has never spoken of it that I have heard. She said then that many

years ago she conceived of the techniques on the beach and taught

them to a few people in simplified form. Recently it has had wider

exposure, and Amma said that she wanted to provide a free technique

for people who were inclined towards meditation as a sadhana.

"It might be like a marriage," she said with a laugh. "Once the

initial excitement of a new wife vanishes, you might be bored with

it. But at least you will do it for a few months."
