People who are new to being around Amma are new to seeing this in Ammas devotees because they expect them to be loving like Amma is. So,..........................

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thats right many times peoples crap has nothing to do with anything or anybody. It just is.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Dearest GeorgeSon, Thank you for being open and addressing this post. I also saw the incident you are speaking of, but I chose to just remain quiet about it. It seems that we are seeing more of t(his) type of behaviour lately… which is quite sad. Many times I wonder how an Amma devotee can say harsh or ugly things and not think twice about the repercussions that are involved. I truly hope no one has walked away from this feeling as though they can not be open on this e-mail satsang anymore. But, it’s quite likely. If you can’t be open about getting burned in this forum, then it’s easy to fear being burned for being open. ¸..• ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.•´ .•´¨¨)) ((¸¸.•´ ..•´ -:¦:- ..::Brightest Blessings::.. -:¦:- ((¸¸.•´.¸..•` ..::Bela::.. "Like nectar in the fresh morning flower, let goodness fill you. The heart that unfolds all its petals spreading the fragrance of goodness is the choicest offering at the altar of God" - Amma _____ Ammachi [Ammachi] On Behalf Of GeorgeSon Tuesday, January 17, 2006 6:22 PM ammachi Sarcasm Om Namah Shivaya: Please forgive my humble observation. I do not want to be critical. At the same time I think a mistake has occurred. In a recent post a devotee shared being hit upon by a "Amma devotee" with a child molester character trait. There was a sarcastic post that followed. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE TO THIS SON. WOW!! Someone shares an incident that would leave a permanent scar in me. This was the type of incident where one could get so upset that it is reasonable to even leave Amma after this unsavory incident. Rather than getting sympathy - Sarcasm! Wow again Finds humor in a Amma person being accosted by a predator. Oh yeah what a hoot. Is child molestation a ha ha snicker ho ho ho type of occasion. This is gross insensitivity and makes one hesitant to share openly in this forum. Namah Shivaya, GeorgeSon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
