Sattvic ~ wonderful reply by Devi with firmness and LOVE

[Guest guest]

namah sivaya,

wonderful reply by Devi ~ good for contemplation not for avoidance.

 

everything we write comes either from the heart or the head or a

mixture of both. unfortunately, most of us, including myself, are

still stuck in the head too much. and so we have these exchanges.

these allow us to see the nature of out egoic minds which we

desperately want to get rid of so that we can rest in the heart.

 

meanwhile, it may be well to practice embracing the egoic minds of

others as Mother does( with Love and Light ) ~ or as you would the

mistakes of you own child ~ with firmness and LOVE ~ an example is

Devi's reply to Christopher below

 

also, imho, let us all pray( especially before posting ) :

"Amma please come into my heart

guide me in all the details of my life

and never leave me alone in the head even for a moment

thank You Amma."

 

Om,

amarnath

PS ~ we love you chris!

Thank you Amarnath for your sweet spirit and for giving Eqyirba some

support. I spoke with her on the phone as she was on her way to her

Amma satsang. She is such a beautiful woman with a huge heart,

excellent intellect and inclusive spirit. I haven't met her in person

yet, but I look forward to the day when this Amma's daughter can give

and receive a big hug from Devi's Daughter.
