be some anger, unless the person is truly surrendered, and I have the

utmost respect for such people.The last thing I've needed in a time of

struggle is an empty scriptural quote. It might shut me up.....but it doesn't

help

my heart or my soul. Then there are times when spiritual wisdom

is greatly appreciated. I guess knowing when to offer it comes from

getting to really knowwhere the other person is coming from and what they

need - that's the hard part.If the darn ego would go away it would be much

easier! Oh, to be an empty pot, a

hollow bamboo.

Dear Prasadini ~ there is so much wisdom in what you had to say here; I am

glad you shared your experience. I am also glad you had the courage to share

that there have been times when you have been angry at God. I have been there

myself, especially when things with my family blow up in my face, which, as

you know, they often do. :::rubbing ash and rubble off my face from the most

recent blow up::: Oh to be with Amma for Her Birthday and be showered with Devi

Bhava petals. In some ways, I feel I need to be washed clean.

Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda P.S. I really loved the part about the empty pot, the

hollow bamboo.
