Dear Temba,

 

At first I thought Aikya was posting this note from you, and then I realized

you had posted it yourself. So it is wonderful to "meet" you in the digest.

Your words are very meaningful to me, for I know you have suffered, and I

know, from work I have done myself in the past, how hard you are working and

how

challenging that can sometimes be. Yet you bravely go forth to do what you

have been called to do, with AMMA as your "rocket power," as someone mentioned

in a different post previously.

 

When I read the part about accepting mental abuse as selfless service, my

tears started flowing. I grew up in an abusive home, and perhaps, in part

because of that, I have attracted abusive partners, abusive friends, abusive

work

relationships. My last job was so detrimental to me that I got sick and have

never been able to return to work. Even now, I still have mental abuse from

my mother and stepfather, and it breaks my heart. Perhaps if I can follow your

example and put my heart in Amma's hands, I can let this pain go. Perhaps I

can even feel better physically and find a way to re-engage in selfless

service once again. Temba, I would love to meet you some day. You are a shining

example of what is possible through Amma.
