Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Dear "not-so-ignorant" children of Amma, one devotee known to me (who had been a shiva devotee all his life), after meeting Amma, had the darshan of Lord Shiva. i cannot forget wot he told me abt his life changing vision. this is wot he told me-"..Amma held my hand and took me beyond.. out of nowwhere, Shiva appeared.. like a million suns blazing from every single cell of his form.. overwhelming.. staggering.. i fell (or rather attempted to fall) on to His Divine Feet when Shiva disappeared and in His place was Amma with Her motherly affection overflowing! a feeling of unlimited glory, and suddenly a child again.. unbounded, carefree and generous. the "i" disappeared, only the "awareness" remained." Dear GeorgeSon ~ u perceived it right! shiva is far too subtle for the human intellect. so, lets stop the coloring competition. Amma says, God is love... what more do we need?? why dont we perceive reality... coz we dont let ourselves to!! Free urself of the self-created concepts. Love..accept..surrender...realise!! Let Amma guide u thru! Aum Namah Sivaya!
