Dear Temba ~ you really say quite a bit here, with a few words ... elegant simplicity. You are exactly right; if you look for love, you will be in bondage. I continue to experience this with my mother and stepfather. I try to let go and just love them without expectation, but it is the hardest thing I have ever tackled in my life (even letting go and loving my abusive father was easier). But you are correct, each moment is a new opportunity. As Swami Satyananda Saraswati has said, "The past is gone; tomorrow hasn't come. All we have is today." I am like the ghost of Christmas past in "A Christmas Carol," carrying a long chain with heavy boxes attached. Each box is a sad or negative feeling, or even a hope, and I am tired of carrying all this around. I keep trying all the things that helped me let go of these boxes with regard to my father, and gave me the ability to love him, but also to receive the love he was able to give. Perhaps it's time to drag out my copy of "A Christmas Carol" and get a good dose of what carrying this kind of baggage can lead to, and what letting it go can result in: freedom, joy, enthusiasm, love.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 AMMAs son has learned that the more he meditates,the more he lets go.when we meditate we are no longer identified with the body,mind,emotions,past,future etc.when we chant our mantra our minds get purified and strong.when we serve in the best way we can we forget about our own issues and the miracle to LOVE takes place right before our eyes. AMMAs son is now getting up at four in the morning to meditate and he can feel the differnce.even if he goes back to sleep a DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH LETTING GO IS TAKING PLACE AS A RESULT.even if he only meditates for ten or fiftteen minutes at that time, he is determined to make this a regular practice in his life.last night AMMAS son went to bed at 3:00 am and then got up at 5:30 am to meditate with AMMA.AMMAs son is not telling you or anyone to do this.the point is ,WHAT YOU PUT IN ,IS WHAT YOU GET OUT. AMMA has taught this child that "HIS MIND IS A BIG LIE".THE ONLY TITLE THAT AMMAs son claims for himself is AMMAs son and you alls brother.if his mind says anything other then that ,then he knows that it is a BIG LIE. IT CAN BE HARD TO LET GO,HOWEVER ,THAT IS ONLY BECAUSE WE ARE ATTACHED TO BELIEVING THAT IT IS HARD TO LET GO.WE NEED TO FIRST LET GO OF THAT NEGATIVE THOUGHT,THEN THE OTHER STUFF WILL DROP. WHEN AMMAs son claims being AMMAs child ,what he is claiming is having ACCESS TO ALL THE POWER IN THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND THAT.EVERYTHING AMMA IS he is WITHIN. the more wqe believe this and work towards this GOAL.the more we become THAT.WE ARE THAT.WE ARE NOT ALL OF THOSE ISSUES AND THINGS .WE ARE ALL AMMAS BELOVED DARLING CHILDREN AND WE HAVE ACCCESS TO EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS UNIVERSE. MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MAM AMA MA MA AMMA IS LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IS AMMA IS LINDA IS LOVE. >nierika >Ammachi >Ammachi > Re: To Temba on Amma IS Love >Thu, 22 Dec 2005 10:20:16 EST > > >Temba wrote: > >...AMMAS son stopped going places and looking for love from anyone,when he >LOOKED FOR LOVE, it normally resulted in BONDAGE. on the other hand, when >he >began having the attitide not to expect LOVE but to GIVE IT, he always >left >feeling blissful and content...each moment is a new oppurtunity to live >wiith this attitude... > > > >Dear Temba ~ you really say quite a bit here, with a few words ... elegant >simplicity.
