Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Amma compared Her darshan to a mother nursing....that even if the mother is not paying attention to the child at her breast because of other things going on, the baby is still fed. So, even if She is not paying outward attention to us, we still receive the milk of Her love. Something about these words really moved me and I felt they were true....so much so that the next time I had darshan, it actually felt like suckling, no matter what was going on externally (which, incidentally, was Amma shoving my head down in Her lap so that She could use me as a desk....I have no idea what on earth she was writing on top of me! =). Of course, She didn't address the fact that sometimes She ignores us on purpose! ;-) (Can you imagine if every devotee who didn't feel that Amma paid him/her enough attention during darshan actually went up and shook Her!?!? *grin*) Blessings, Iswari Ammachi, "Adriane" <a1driane@s...> wrote: > One question was: " Amma, forgive me for being so direct. > But usually Amma is sweet, kind and loving and gives this beautiful > hug.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Om Namah Shivaya! Everyone can have his or her own view on what Amma said and that is what Amma wants. On that same day in the morning, I was explaining to a friend one point and I am reproducing that for this group. One thing I feel is: During my earlier years fo Darshan, Amma used to communicate with me through words. But presently I find Amma communicating with me through my feelings. That is how it should be as words could sometimes be misunderstood. (Example: In the retreat Swami told "Amma gives Her devotees what they deserve and not what they desire." I feel I will interpret that as "Amma believes we deserve much more than what we desire.) There is one more angle which we can consider in that question. I happen to be the eldest sibling at my home. How will I have felt when my younger brother or sister were born? My mom's attention could be divided and at times I may have felt my mom is ignoring me and I literally shook my mom to get her attention.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 This is so interesting.Well, whatever She was writing, you got a nice darshan. And, yes, there are the times we are with Her, when she ignores us like we aren't even there. My first guru used to lure people in, giving them lots of attention, and then ignore them. I remember getting lots of attention two days in a row, and then being tossed over for a string of hot peppers. As I was pranaming, waiting for acknowledgment of my wonderfulness, he reached over and said "Ah ---(something in Hindi - obviously admiring the peppers). Playing with my goofy mind. Many years ago Mother gave my husband and me lots and lots of attention. Then many months later something very challenging happened. Since then I am just as happy to be ignored. In fact, I used to sit in the darshan line and beg Her to ignore me. But I have to admit that I love it when She pinches my cheek, or looks into my eyes and laughs. Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 We had one darshan in Michigan where Amma was having a heated discussion with Kannan about salad dressing. Maybe she was complaining to him that people had bad breath, and he was blaming it on the salad dressing. Anyway, it was a nice darshan. on 12/1/05 3:39 PM, Prasadini at ganesh1008 wrote: > This is so interesting.Well, whatever She was writing, you got a nice > darshan. > And, yes, there are the times we are with Her, when she ignores us like > we aren't even there.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Good laugh! But it would be irritating to give darshan to thousands of people with bad breath! Hmm. Salad dressing.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 there was a time where darshan meant the site of a holy person and maybe a touch.now we get hugs,glances,kisses,etc.the key is to be just as joyous to see someone else getting attention as you are when you get it.also,MOTHERS son has learned that awareness, as AMMA has said is very important.this year AMMAs son not only had an open heart but he also watched MOTHERS great play take place.in volume seven of the awaken children series AMMA breaks down the spiritual science of SAKSHI BHAVA.she concludes this chapter by saying that we as spiritual aspirants can practice this awareness.MOTHERS words are so sacred .if we remain aware as well as keep our hearts opened our experinces will become much deeper and we will also grow spiritually.this is AMMAs sons experience.in the bible THE AVATAR JESUS says 'MANY THAT ARE FIRST ,SHALL BE LAST AND MANY THAT ARE LAST SHALL BE FIRST".in other words put others before yourself and THE DIVINE WILL BE COMPELLED TO PUT HIS/HER ATTENTION ON YOU.the first year that MOTHERS son went to see OUR MOTHER,he was so caught up in HER BENEVOLENT PLAY THAT he didnt go to hug HER.MOTHERS son felt like he was being hugged through MOTHER hugging everyone else.AMMAS son had roses,but HE GOT CAUGHT UP IN THE JOY OF GIVING the roses to others to give to AMMA.that night MOTHERS son glimpsed the ONENESS with everything that he had previously only read about IN BOOKS.this was seven or eight years ago.MOTHERS son believes that each year we come to see AMMA,WE SHOULD SEE HOW we have grown in our selflessness.being around AMMA is the perfect place to watch our own growth.its like when AMMA IS LEAVING THE TEMPLE,WE ALL CAN GET PRETTY AGGRESIVE IN MAKING SURE WE GET TOUCHED OR LOOKED AT OR WHATEVER.someone told me that they were pushed into MOTHERS arms by someone who had previoously upset them.that opened this heart right up.that was an act of selflessness.namah shivaya.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I was reflecting that there can be as much ego in refusing to receive as in seeking to receive. Hermann Hesse once wrote that "self-hate is really the same thing as sheer egoism, and in the long run breeds the same cruel isolation and despair." So, as some of us need to learn put others before ourselves, I've also encountered others who struggle simply to allow themselves to receive Amma's love and her darshan. Amma often talks about how she binds us with love first, and teaches us second. Thankfully, Amma knows what each of us needs and when....and also thankfully, she is infinitely patient. ;-) Namah Sivaya, Iswari Ammachi, "temba spirits" <tembaspirits@h...> wrote: > AMMAs sons experience.in the bible THE AVATAR JESUS says 'MANY THAT ARE > FIRST ,SHALL BE LAST AND MANY THAT ARE LAST SHALL BE FIRST".in other words > put others before yourself and THE DIVINE WILL BE COMPELLED TO PUT HIS/HER > ATTENTION ON YOU.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 each person has to be honest with themselves and look at there particular vasanas with courage and honesty.you are correct my dear sister the ego can be very subtle.AMMA speaks about the subtle ego and to be aware of it.the key is to watch.fear can work both ways.while AMMAs child was in the darshan line he began to become afraid.not to get a hug,but because he wanted to talk to MOTHER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WAS ON HIS HEART.IT WAS EASY TO TALK TO THE SWAMIS ABOUT IT,BUT NOT TO AMMA.she had already affirmed it for AMMAs son in his heart ,but it took more courage and humilty and awareness of the fear to overcome it.while AMMAS son watched the fear ,he began affirming to his heart that he was filled with courage and to stay aware.AMMAs son had to step on the head of the fear in order to become aware of what it was he wanted to accomplish,which was to talk to HER about the pain that he felt for all of those children in ghetto communtys that dont know THAT THERE MOTHER IS HERE ON THIS EARTH.AS AMMAS son conqured the fear and affirmed his inner divinity,about nine people behind MOTHER ,he began to notice that EVEN THOUGH MOTHER WAS HUGGING MANY PEOPLE IN FRONT OF him,SHE WAS AFTER HUGGING EACH CHILD ,LOOKING DIRECTLY AT him.SHE CONTINUED TO Look directly in these eyes.that was way before his body made it to HERS.WE WERE IN THE STATE OF SAKSHI BHAVA(THE WITNESS STATE )TOGETHER.AMMAS SON HEART WAS WIDE OPEN BUT HE WATCHED THE ENTIRE PLAY.WHEN he finally got close to MOTHERS body,he did not look at AMMA BUT IN A FIRM WAY TOLD THE TRANSLATOR THAT HE HAD TO TELL MOTHER SOMETHING.mothers son asked AMMA TO BLESS HIS LIFE SO THAT HE COULD BE USED TO BRING HER CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH, OR GOING THROUGH ,THE CHALLENGE OF BEING INFLUENCED BY THE GHETTO LIFE STYLES IN N.AMERICA in order that they could RECIEVE HER DARSHAN .HE TOLD HER THAT HE WAS SO GREATFUL TO HAVE HER, BUT THAT HE WANTED OTHERS TO HAVE HER AS WELL.AFTER RUBBING his hair for what seemed like an eternity and hugging him about three times.our sister the translator says"AMMA SAID THAT YOUR INNOCENT DESIRE WILL HAPPEN IN TIME." YOU ARE ENTIRLEY RIGHT MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER,AMMAS son know this from personal experience.AMMA BOUND HER SON WITH HER LOVE IN THE DARSHAN LINE AND TAUGHT HIM IN THE SAME BREATH.SHE TAUGHT HER CHILD THAT EVEN IN HER PHYSICAL PRESENCE ,SHE IS ALWAYS WITHIN this body and in all of us.the key in all of this was AWARENESS.MOTHERS SON HAS LEARNED THAT AWARENESS IS A FORM OF HER GRACE.namah shivaya. >"ammasiswari" <ammasiswari >Ammachi >Ammachi > Re: Michigan Q&A >Sat, 03 Dec 2005 22:18:33 -0000 > >I was reflecting that there can be as much ego in refusing to receive as in >seeking to >receive.
