Besides Amma, who is my all in all, Peace Pilgrim comes next in my

list of Spiritual heroes.

 

When, a psychologically disturbed teenager went off the beam and

started hitting Peace pilgrim. She just looked at him with the

greatest compassion "How could anyone be so disturbed as to hit an old

lady?" The compassion touched something deep within him and his life

was transformed.

 

In my own case, several years ago when I was still working, I would

tell people about Amma, etc. One fellow worker, came in one day with

an insulin inbalance( unknown to me and perhaps to himself ). He took

exception to something I said and put his large hands around my small

neck. Peace Pilgrim's story flashed in my mind and I was at peace come

what may. He stopped and later appologized.

 

What I learned from Peace P. is that we should look at those who seem

to be trying to hurt us as psychologically ill and actually crying out

for help from us.

 

I consider Peace Pilgrim to be the highest American Saint. She left

the body in 1981. Amazing how few people know about her.

 

So, why don't we just put the Pope on our compassionate prayer list?

 

Let us skip all the critisizm. Remember, critisizm poisens the

environment and comes back to us as critisizm. But perhaps some

critisizm was necessary to get the Pope on our prayer list and this

story about Peace Pilgrim.

 

May Amma Bless us and Guide us and correct us when we make mistakes,
