To Adriane and all about Temba's love

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.

 

 

Well, hello again everyone ~ I want to thank everyone who has written me or

called me since I left the group. I have missed all of you more than I can

say. I have missed feeling Amma in my life. I don't exactly know what to say,

but I want to second what Adriane wrote. Temba called me recently, just to

touch base. It was almost as though he didn't know I had left the group, but

was

just calling "his sister, Linda." I have no words to describe what this meant

to me. But I think it fits in with the "nonviolent communication"

conversation that I'm probably catching the end of. Temba's light melted the

wall

around my heart, and so here I am.

 

I may not be able to keep up with all the digests because I have realized I

am sicker now that I was a year ago. Seeing Amma seems out of the question.

Even if I could get there, someone would have to carry me in on a stretcher or

a wheel chair for anything that happened after 3:00 pm. Mornings are still my

best time, but after that, I go downhill very fast.

 

One factor in my leaving was that I couldn't keep up with reading two

digests, and I did feel very pulled by Swamiji. I believe this was, in part, due

to

the focus on individual sadhana and the knowledge that, since Devi Mandir is

not open to the public at the moment, and Shree Maa and Swamiji are not

traveling, I didn't have to worry about whether I was able to get to see them or

not. I knew Amma's tour was coming up, and I knew I probably wouldn't be able

to to, and I was embarrassed and ashamed. But Temba, through his openness and

acceptance and one sweet phone call, showed me that I don't have to be

worried about the expectations of others.

 

And to the several people that wrote and said, "come home," I thank your

dear hearts with all the gratitude of my own.

 

Love to all ~ Linda

Namaste Linda, welcome back ~ i knew you would !

 

My experience was similar in talking to brother Temba on the phone

coast to coast.

 

There seemed to be Amma's Presence filling the room in the form of

Light and Love.

 

I sometimes have this experience with other devotees of Amma.

 

One time, at Amma's program i met someone( new to Amma ) who didn't

seem to resonate with me. Next day, we were alone in the elevator and

something seemed different about him; a kind of glow; he said he

didn't know why but he was asked and performed the pada puja to Amma;

i selfishly touched his feet and received Amma's Darshan.

 

Amma is everywhere and says we should be able to bow down to

everyone, everything.

 

My prayer is that we/i learn to use our words in such a way that

every word is a blessing.

 

amma's blessing,
