Backslapper/Temba/Tommy Boy (loved that movie, btw)

[Guest guest]

Well I am a backslapper but that is probably just because I am truly

grateful. It is my nature to usually find good things in others. I

was lucky to be born with this. It is not that I never complain

(hence see my "crabby" post!). But for me the bigger picture of

everything before me is the greatest gift. Each breath is a gift. I

thank Amma for the gift of life. May my life be half of what Temba's

is. He is a marvel of love, a brilliance of loving light that showers

profusely upon us. May we each have even half of his spirit and love.

Temba, I bow down to the beauty and love that shine from you.

Namah Shivaya,

It's like seeing the glass as half full rather than half empty - but

more so. It's optimism vs pessimism but more so. It's having a loving,

open heart, being a happy, loving person, vs a person who is miserably

unhappy. I don't think we choose to be unhappy, it's either habit or a

chemical imbalance, or a reaction to bad circumstances.

The reason we all clamor to be around Mother is because we want some of

Her happiness, peace, bliss. Fortunately for us it's contagious. I'm

sure we've all had the experience of being at Her feet , feeling

wonderful, and then we look at our lives and see how we usually are and

have a sense of disbelief that we could chose to be miserable.

Fortunately She brings us back to where we belong. She works very hard

to bring us to a state of happiness. Can we even imagine how hard She

works to bring us out of the darkness of our own misery into Her light?

deraest beloved sister adrianne.it takes beauty and light to know beauty and

light.the beauty you see in others is coming from your sight which makes you

just as beautiful.there is only ONE light and we are ALL IT.your LIGHT IS

OUR LIGHT.OUR LIGHT is your LIGHT.

 

WE ARE ALL SPARKS OF THAT SAME DIVINE LIGHT.as darling children of AMMA,we

accept this and embrace it but we dont take credit for it.once we realize

that we are THE LIGHT ,we stay full of light by offering (THE LIGHT)TO AMMA

in the form of service to those who suffer.

 

dearest beloved sister and darling daughter of AMMA.YOU ARE PURE BEAUTY AND

PURE LIGHT.THIS IS THIS CHILDS FAITH AND THE EXPERIENCE OF his heart.no one

can take this from this heart.this is AMMAs promise and HER word is etrenal.
