Seeing Amma - wasTo Sweta on Amma's physical presence -Linda

[Guest guest]

what great examples you give! for me that is my goal as well to see

Her everywhere. at least your on the bus i am still waiting for the

ticket office to open to get a bus token. i rather enjoy maya

myself and am not sure my karma is such that i could live with Her.

but that is ok for me because while i definitely consider Amma my

Guru, i don't feel like i want to follow Amma as much as follow the

example that She sets(i'm waiting in line for that ticket too :>) )

maybe with more devotion and Love for Her i would feel different.

 

but i think that is the importance of satsang, hanging around with

Saints, chanting the Name, etc. spirituality teaches us about

seeing and knowing. seeing with the eyes, and knowing with THE eye.

 

to know what we see to be unreal and to see what we know to be real.
