Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Om Namah Shivaya Dear Eric: Thank you for the Amma quote: "Do not judge things without knowing everything." - This quote is from Awaken Children, Vol. 1 page 71 (I got lucky because I am not that well versed. Ericiji, Here are some other Amma gems on Judgement from that Modern Veda "Awaken Children": "People judge things according to their mental dispositions and tendencies which are limited. Due to this limitation their judgments are wrong most of the time and they miss the essence of things." "A plant in which an ayurvedic physician sees great medicinal value is nothing but grass for a person who harvests food for cows. Likewise,people differ according to their individual samskaras. It is through the glasses of their vasanas that each one views and judges the world. The color of the glasses differs according to a person's tendencies, but in all people identification with these vasanas is so strong that they feel that their judgments, and their judgments alone, are correct." Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4, p3 Also: "A devotee asks Mother why she allows a certain person to come to the ashram who, in the devotee's opinion, is unpleasant and of bad character]. "Son, God descends to the earth for the sake of people in ignorance. They need to be transformed. How can you judge someone when you yourself are plunged in ignorance? Do you know how much he regrets and repents his past? It is people like him that need the most attention. When someone like that changes for the better, it is of great benefit to society." - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4 p263 Ericji - Did Lord Jesus say something to the effect (I paraphrase) Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 When we avoid judgement, this seems open us to accpetance, which leads to Love.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Dear Sweta: Acceptance is a very nice word, Swetaji. Back in the 80's Werner Erhard of EST fame said: "Things are the way they are, acceptance leads to realization." Does not Amma accept the fallen and wretched like GeorgeSon. Did Amma turn me away for Darshan? If purity was a prerequisite I would have been shown the exit. She accepts us as we are. Like a compassionate Doctor Amma will not berate us by saying" "Why didnt you take care of yourself. I wont treat you. Get out" She see's the light shining within us. Amma sees us as Her reflection. Vedanta teaches we are ever pure, ever blessed, ever free. We are not the body, We are not our "supposed" sins. All of that is just an appearance or mirage. She see's us like we REALLY REALLY REALLY are. If we have a few dents and an oil leak Amma does not junk the car. Dents warts bruises? Come to me is Her response. Come all ye heavy laden I will give you rest. We are Her children. Can a mother abandon even a naughty delinquent Child?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Dear Georgeson, I felt that Amma really took on a big job, & would accept anyone, after she accepted me. Then she even named me Sweta, which Sw. Dayamrita said means purity, as in pure white. Once I offered Amma white flowers with little brown spots, praying she would make me pure. Basically asking her to remove my brown spots. She handed a large, perfectly while rose petal to me. Our Guru is so powerful, she can purify anyone. Now it seems to be our turn to love & accept everyone as they are. Sweta leokomor <leokomor wrote: Dear Sweta: Acceptance is a very nice word, Swetaji.
