Dear Michele and Prajna ~ I completely understand how you feel. I had to drop out of the Shree Maa digest, not only because I felt I should make a choice, but because I just couldn't keep up with all the digests and two somewhat varied approaches. However, should Shree Maa and Swami come out of seclusion and tour again, I would not hesitate to see them, just as I would not hesitate to see Karunamyi or Ram Dass or read books about Neem Karoli Baba and other. For are we not told that part of spiritual growth is to seek and spend time in the company of saints and gurus? I don't feel that choosing Amma (or Her choosing me) as my guru negates the possibility that I visit other Great Souls if I have the chance. The more Bhava, the better.

Jai Ma ~ Linda > > > Dear Linda, I am in total agreement with you. I think that when we can be with divinity, we should imbibe it (there's that word again) :-) whether is't in the form of the actual saint, or books, or chants, or whatever. It's just that I find myself holding back somehow - not giving that "God in human form" an open heart, as I do with Mother. I was able to be with Karunamayi for a few hours last week, and while it was wonderful, and She is incredible, my heart wasn't as open. I wasn't as much "In love". I did, however, feel myself mellow out and get in touch with the sweetness inside much more than my usual state. That is to say that She did have a big impact on my inner being, and raised me up.I realize that it is my own hang-up. It is incredible grace to be in the company of a realized soul, no matter what body they are in. When I can see them all as the same, and I mean really feel the love and the connection with all divine souls - nay, with everyone and everything, then, well, what more could a person want? Jai Ma!
