Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 How is anyone capable of knowing who is or was the greatest (except, of course, Muhammad Ali)? Would Christ have claimed that he was the greatest? Would Amma claim it? I doubt it. Anyone who needs to bolster their ego by making such claims should study astronomy. We live on a speck of dust in a vast dust storm that is but one of billions of similar dust storms. Consciousness pervades and comprises it all. Individuals are only great insofar as they realize that, and then they are nothing. on 2/15/06 7:57 AM, Devi's Daughter at devi.daughter wrote: > namah sivaya > > it's not about looking down upon you or screaming heresy for me. i'm > just trying to understand why you remain here on this list. i am not > trying to be rude but wouldn't you find more cameraderie with people who > feel that jesus christ is the 'name above all names' instead of a list > where amma's name and form are revered as that? one can admire, respect, > and honor the man, jesus, who had reached his christhood and modeled > that for us ("that which i do you can do and greater things than > this...if you have faith" <my paraphrase>). one can take note of his > example and revere him as a 'way-shower' without needing to assert his > superiority over other christs or avatars. > > that's just my opinion but i am curious... > > jmcs_06 wrote: >> Yes, there are many great souls and great saints (the hidden, >> unknown ones,the somewhat known ones, and the great known ones) of >> all types and forms and religions yet still I assure you that the >> ultimate "Name above all names" is Jesus Christ (in whatever >> language/dialect it is understood), even above great Kali Shakti >> Amma...most of you will not understand this and will look down on me >> and scream "heresy" because of your concepts and interpretations of >> what I'm trying to say, which is really beyond human WORDS and >> explanation. >> >> peace be with us -- Rick Archer SearchSummit 1108 South B Street Fairfield, IA 52556 Phone: 641-472-9336 Fax: 815-572-5842 Skype: Rick_Archer http://searchsummit.com rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
