I believe that this is only a temporary solution to the problem. Amma is constantly showing us the permanent solution to all our problems in life. But our problem is we have trouble following these solutions. In such a situation we need to pray to Her all the more for Her love and guidance so that we may have the dedication and steadfastness of a true disciple to follow her solutions, instead of finding our own temporary solution. This is just my mind's way of looking at your hypothetical situation. Namah Shivaya. --- GeorgeSon <leokomor wrote: > Om Amriteswarye Namah > > Here is a hypothethical question: > > An ardent Amma devotee is having trouble with > keeping the mind stable.
