Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Enjoy reading this. A farmer once found a large diamond lying in a field. He took it to the nearest town to have it evaluated. He went to the vegetable dealer and asked, "How much is this worth?" The vegetable dealer said, "I'll give you two heads of cabbage and a pound of beans for it." But the farmer said, "That doesn't sound reasonable at all." So he went to a material shop. The cloth merchant said, "Oh, this is very valuable! I'll give you 100 yards of silk for it.No, that doesn't seem right either," said the farmer. He then went to a shop where they sold cheap jewellery. The jewellery dealer said, "Oh, this is extremely valuable! I'll give you a thousand dollars for it." But the farmer decided to try one more place. He went to the best jewellery shop in town, the shop with the greatest reputation. They looked at the diamond and said, "This diamond is invaluable. Don't sell it whatever you do." So people valued the diamond differently -- but the diamond was always the same. Similiarly, Mother is always the same. She is Devi. She is Brahman. Once we come to Mother, we begin to change. But Mother never changes. - by Swamiji Paramatmananda _________________________________ Ravi Natarajan - Amma Georgia Satsang <ravi ravi http://amma.natarajan.net <http://amma.natarajan.net/> "Love is our true essence.
