To Entire Satsang: Final Comment on Surrogate Guru's

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Shivaya:

 

Dear Amma Siblings:

 

Thank you for helping me work on a personal issue.

 

Collective Wisdom is one of the best uses of forum..

 

There was a minor female comedian called Rita Rudner. She wrote a book that

satirized the peculiarities of men.

 

Ms. Rudner wrote:

 

Whenever I want to breakup a relationship with a man, it's quite simple. All I

have to say is "I love you. I want to marry you. I want to spend the rest of my

life with you. I want to carry your baby."...sometimes they leave skid marks.

 

This brings up the attitude on being non-commital.

 

This immature son is afraid of making a total no holds barred commitment to one

Guru.

 

The need for "keeping my options open" seems to arise. Can I think eat sleep

breathe one Teacher and one Teacher alone. Do I fear becoming a cultish

Amma-bot?

 

Earlier in this incarnation life was directed toward being anti-conventional. I

still abhor group-think mindlessness.

 

Here is where the mind shows its sinister subtlety. Relating to Amma is NOT

analogous to a male female relationship.

 

IT IS NOT A SPLIT UP

 

NOR IS IT TECHNICALLY ANY KIND OF SEPARATION ISSUE.

 

My sense after all of the collective wisdom you generously shared is the pain

stems from the DIVIDED SELF.

 

When Amma leaves the hall after Devi Bhava some of us cry. Why? Because if is

a graphic illustration of the paradigm: I LOST MY TRUE SELF.

 

To lose a spouse or a romantic partner is terrible. Far more onerous is to be

like a dog chasing its tail. Round and around we go though the tail is not

separate from us.

 

Amma cannot leave us because She is us.

Love,

 

GeorgeSon

 

P.S. I
