Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Om Amriteswarye Namah Here is a hypothethical question: An ardent Amma devotee is having trouble with keeping the mind stable. Various health problems (mental and physical) make Sadhana chaotic. Amma is in far away India. A recognized Hindu Saint is staying within driving distance. fo the Amma devotee. The Saint offers meditation in His/Her presence and Satsang and Prasad. The Saint is non-commercial and unquestionably pure. Should the devotee avail himself of the other Saints holy company? The Amma devotees goal is not to replace or even substitute Amma. The devotees intention is to have his consciousness raised and attain some calming of the mind. What in your opinion is appropriate in this scenario?. Bala, if you dislike hypotheticals then forgive the above.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Dear GeorgeSon, Namashivaya. I really feel that if you wish to see another saint or attend another satsang, or meditation classes,... and you have these doubts as to wheter it's proper or not, you should ask Amma about it during Her November programs, and She will give you advice that is right for you. And what's right for you may not be right for someone else. Namashivaya.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Isn't that the truth. Gurus do not use a "one size fits all" approach to guidance. There are many stories of Ramakrishna giving "opposite" guidance to different devotees.
