Amma's Comment on Cartoon

Om Namah Shivaya:

 

This is the exact quote from Amritapuri.com

Amma said:

 

"Whatever it may be, when you insult

someone's form of worship, it will be

painful for them,If someone

draw's your wife or your mother in the nude

or in a ridiculing manner, is there anyone

who will not feel bad? No, they will be hurt.

Whether God exists or not is not the question.

They [the Muslims] have a certain sankalpa

[conviction] regarding God; if someone mocks

that, it will wound them.

 

Could discussion stay on Her words? Why go

off on the tangent of Arab "behavior"

 

Does Amma condone violence? Of course not.

However offensive cartoons are adharmic as well.

My two rupees worth again.

 

Namah Shivaya,

 

GeorgeSon

What is it that you don't understand? Please use your intelligence.

Amma is pretty much saying that people get hurt for various reasons

and they react based upon their samsakaras. She never says reaction is

good, she says respond but not react.

Namah Shivaya,

I think Mother was just trying to give us some understanding, and trying

to encourage us to be

better people.

The rest we have discussed before, and I ain't goin' there.

Jai Ma!

Amma made briliant answer back, I dont understand what is there not to

understand ,

I mean the whole religious historical background of Semitic religions on the

overall is

certainly

very violent however so far violence or mockery from any point of view is not

the answer ,

Amma sad once beautifully " Revolution starts in heart " only then the

circumstances of the

world can change, it is a slow process after centuries of notorious hate wars

the change will

not happen overnight however with Amma's blessings it is a step forward . I

strongly belief

that if each one of us continues with prayers sadhana , compassionate behavior

in our

communities there is hope for change . At times it might seem overwhelming and

one might

feel hopeless that is why Amma is Here to give us strength and hope .

Unfortunately I cannot, it's my samsakara to respond to anyone who

posts idiotic comments on my mother viz

 

* "condone and promote horrible violence"

* "hold Her accountable"

* "notorious for telling/promising things"

* "saying confusing, ambiguous things"

 

nothanks, Ravi

Namaste Kalika,

 

What you said above, from all my 10.5 years experience with Amma, is

simply not the truth for me ~ or at least not the way you put it.

Sometimes, there is confusion on my part but if I hang in there,

things clear up.

 

What each one of us holds as the truth is obviously different because

our experiences are different and also our perceptions even of the

same experiences are different due to the filter of our different

egoic-minds( which all of us are trying to purify ).

 

Actually, my truth is just the opposite. When Amma told my partner

Samarpana that we could go to Amritapuri, India, for Her Birthday, I

thought that both of them were crazy( sorry Amma ). Let me explain,

Samarpana has fear of flying, fear of all public transportation, and

many phobias; the only way she got around was by driving ~ not someone

driving her but she has to be the driver. And there were other

considerations.

 

I really felt very tense, uncomfortable, fearful and did not know what

to do. A few days later, I called just to find out how much the

tickets were and ended up with two tickets to India.

 

Then I knew that I was crazy too and it did not matter because Amma

seemed to be in charge. This is where FAITH helps a lot. I am a worry-

er( not a warrior ) and to keep my sanity I simply had to surrender

feeling that Amma was the doer ~ this somehow gave me strenght.

 

Well, to make the long story short, we did it and stayed for 5.5

months rather than the 2 months we planned.

 

It was not easy and what got us througth was silently chanting almost

continuously our mantras, 108 names, 1000 names and praying a lot.

 

hope this helps.

 

Amma's Blessings,

amarnath

May All Beings Be Peaceful and Happy !
