Dear Prasadini:

The priority of America is a crude uncivil blend of survival of the fittest.

Dog eat dog prevails by and large.

 

The priorities Amma wants nations to abide by are SPIRITUAL VALUES. The feeding

of the soul is necessary too. It appears that many progressives analyze solely

in economic terms. That is acceptable but a little incomplete.

 

Without a doubt FOOD CLOTHING AND SHELTER come first. The stomach must be fed

before spiritual instructions can be of value. Who cares for Vedanta or even

Sadgurus if the stomach is empty. Prasadini I am Just clumsily trying to insert

the non-economic into the discussion here insinuating that it is not JUST an

economic issue. We need to evaluate the spiritually impoverished as well.

"This is all just so sad that the only place to find comfort is in Mother"

 

The poverty in America is a scandal. No doubt about it. But if it leads to the

feeling I have nothing and that (albeit sad feeling) leads to God then perhaps

it ain't all bad.

 

This may be what Jesus meant in the statement: "The meek shall inherit the

earth".

 

Adversity can lead to faith in a higher power. Conversely wealth can lead to

spiritual bankruptcy. Amma of course demands both material sustenance and

spiritual consciousness.

 

Food must be placed right beside scripture. One cannot learn with a growling

stomach. But if despair leads a Jiva to God and a sense of hitting bottom

comes, then it is certainly bad but not all bad.

 

I sometimes feel that material poverty helped lead me to Amma. I would rather

be poor with Amma than rich without Her,

 

With Love
