This is where it becomes very difficult for Mother's

children like you and me. Just to get a token takes persistence - and

energy. I don't know if it helps to get there early in the morning or

not. But to keep returning to the token line means staying around a long

time. If this makes you sick, and you have no place to go and rest and

feel better, then you get sicker. Seriously, maybe a note from your

doctor adding that physical exertion worsens your condition, and you

need to rest all the time "might" help with the physical end of

things. Years ago I took a mat and attempted to lie down upstairs in the

loft at the San Ramon ashram, but it didn't help much. Rest to me is

being in bed with the covers up under my chin.

 

 

 

Dear prasadini ~ I didn't know that there were long lines just to get

tokens. Perhaps I will have to plan on seeing Amma without getting darshan, but

I

will get a note from my physician, just in case it may help. I am with you,

resting is being in bed with the covers up to my chin and listening to one of my

bhajan tapes.

 

Somewhere along the line of discussion of line monitors and tokens, I must

have missed that you, too, suffer from some kind of illness. My prayers are

with you. If you don't mind me asking, what is the illness that you have? If

you

don't want to answer, that is fine too.

There is a special needs line for those with health problems. Someone named

Rosie is going to be managing it during the retreat. She'll be on the left

side if you're facing the stage. Find her and she'll help things go smoothly

for you.
