Path of The Mother & Train Rides -tracks ahead?

[Guest guest]

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

i am new here so please excuse any stupid questions. but i don't

understand why we would focus on the "tracks ahead" as said in your

post. this has always been a weakness of mine(one of many). and to

continue with the train anology, the tracks ahead or behind, to

focus on either seems like a waste of time. after all we aren't

even driving the train! we are just passengers. She is the driver.

 

one thing Amma once said that i always remembered(one of many) is,

we may exhale never to inhale again. doesn't that apply here also?

Namah Shivaya,

I am new here, too! At least I think I am. I don't know the days of

membership to be able to say that...lol...

 

I think that Amma has given us techniques such as the IAM program to

focus within and forget the tracks altogether! lol...Ms Worry here

of course, is not perfect at this by any means. As Amma told me not

to worry, She is always with me. I am reminded that worry it about

something that has not happened or if it has, I cannot change

anyway. Someone wrote to me how the bramacharis do not even do pujas

for themselves, instead seeing all events as prasad. How beautiful

and full of surrender is THAT?! Whew!

 

I think (therefore I'm NOT!)... LOL..couldn't pass up the old saying

here..always looking for the joke)...I believe the golden key is to

empty the mind. The writing as on the Path of the Mother, the IAM

technique, getting mantra from Amma-all these things are to purify

the mind, to empty it and simply be in the moment, to become the

experience of being. No small feet. lol

 

in devotion to Amma,

Adriane
