Other gurus and Beautiful qoutes: LOVE

[Guest guest]

I just finished an online back and forth in the Ammachi Free speech

zone for a long time Amma devotee who is struggling because he feels

that Amma is not giving him enough personal meditation instruction.

He admires the writings of Ramana Maharshi and Nisragadatta, as I

do. He really loves non-dualism, as do many "intellectuals."

 

This may be one of the slight problems with having too many gurus

and not being focused on Amma's teachings: he is expecting Amma to

become his idea of Ramana Maharshi. he doesn't understand it when

Amma doesn't give him personal instruction and instead has huge

bhakti satsangs which he considers to be "kindergarden."

 

After reading these Amazing quotes from Amma below, it made all my

responses to him seem kind of silly. I posted them over there,

Thanks!

 

Also, I read extensively in spiritual topics...especially hunduism.

I really love it, and seems to broaden my understanding.

 

But I have to say we have the most unique guru. I am so so proud of

Amma. Isn't that sort of dopey? When I see her or hear about the

things she does, I'm like o! go Amma! When I look at her

pictures they are alive..literally, they don't seem like just

pictures to me. Im so glad someone is speaking doing and acting the

truth! To me Amma is actually Krishna, returned to help us. I mean

that literally. Can we second guess Krishna? I mean isn't that

funny? My prayer is may there be millions of Ammas! Maybe that is

all of you.
