I'll try again, to the point/Amma's Dog Excrement

[Guest guest]

It's their actions that affect the satsang that's in question.

To repeat myself:

 

We're not talking about the tour, we're not talking about how nice

people are, or how various programs go (Dayamrita visits, etc.): I'm

talking about normal, regular satsang (mostly). If you haven't been

a regular attendant at the satsangs, how can you express your opinion

on the matter? It's the difference between gets "props"/nods from

MAC and actually serving the little folk.

 

And as I had said a long time ago, someone with lots of good fortune,

who can do without good satsang (those who can afford regular trips to

Amma out of state, etc), certainly will be pleased with the current

satsangs. It's why I haven't cursed them to close down like the

unofficial SSB group. At least the Amma satsangs aren't spewing

blatant misinformation like that group did, and the manipulation at the

SSB group was more directly felt, and after several attempts by many

members to improve things. The host of that SSB group suddenly

decided to close it down a month after I gave the blessing... (In this

case, the blessing was, "If this satsang exists only to increase

Ignorance, and cause more harm than good, then let it close down!")

 

I'm talking about SERVING ALL, regardless of income or loyalty

(politics), or level of sadhana, at the regular satsangs.

 

MAHAMUNI WROTE:"regarding feces and its associated nomenclature, etc.

Is this just some weird fetish of yours?"

 

Even Amma's words can seem harsh to "worldly folk". In the Awaken

Children books, does she not compare something to Dog Excrement?

Can't remember if it was material wealth or pleasures.

 

MAHAMUNI WROTE: "You couldn't find better people than Padmini, Raj and

Ken. They certainly worked tirelessly at the last D.C. programs and

were exceptional to all of us helping out and traveling with the Tour."

 

Actually, I'm sure you could find better people than these. Many

people have worked "tirelessly" at Amma's programs, please don't insult

the many sevites by using this as your criteria.

 

When you are in a position to never be questioned or criticized, you

can not grow, because it allows you to be the lord of your own world.

The key point would be then, what percentage of people in the D.C area are at

least happy enough with the Satsang(s) offered, and how many are not. Its

practically impossible to please everyone all the time, so this would be a good

question.

 

But I doubt you are in a position to give a truthful answer to this.

 

I don't feel the need to get into another debate with you over this. Your view

is clear and I would imagine mine is as well.

 

Saying that "Even Amma's words can seem harsh to "worldly folk", has nothing to

do with giving you license to speak/write this way about others. While

"vedantically" you and Amma are One, in every other sense, you are not where

Amma is at and you are not the Satguru here.

 

Having some financial flow in one's life certainly doesn't make you

automatically happy with the state of your home satsang. Many people only get

to see Amma a little bit out of the year, even if they do come to one of the

Nov. stops and some of the Summer Tour stops. But what about the other 9-10+

months of the year? It is Satsang that keeps many of these people focused and

helps them to feel/stay connected to Amma.

 

You said:

 

"It's why I haven't cursed them to close down like the unofficial SSB group" and

"The host of that SSB group suddenly decided to close it down a month after I

gave the blessing"

 

What kind of megalomania is this? As if you are some great Tantrik Baba living

at your dhuni in the Himalaya, where lines of devotees come to seek your

blessings and all the other villagers fear your curse. Are you really for real

with all this? I really feel bad for your current mental state. I know many

here send their prayers and well wishes for you to get better, including me.

 

And while maybe you could find others as able and giving as Padmini, Raj and

Ken, you won't find any better IMHO. But even if there were people a little

better, whatever that would mean (as I don't see how one could judge such things

or what criteria you could base it on), they are certainly incredible enough.

But you don't have to agree... And who said others didn't work tirelessly at

Amma's programs or in the all that went on to make those programs happen and be

as smooth and successful as they were? I was simply commenting on my experience

with them and others comments about them echoing the same who were there and

interacting with them as well as in a position to observe quite a bit. Were you

there and in that position? I don't recall seeing you there this year, but I

could be wrong. I certainly didn't know everyone's names, or could remember them

even if I did at that time.

 

Everyone is always in a position to be questioned or criticized. This does not

necessarily make you grow or not and even if you weren't in that position you

could still grow by other means.

 

Jai Maa!
