Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 Om Shanti Shanti Shanti: Dear Mahadevan: No one on this list can speculate on why Amma creates situations for us. Some believe it is all Her prasad. Rejection in marriage is to some devotees Grace in disguise. I will paste this Amma parable. Amma has told this one at many retreats and public programs. 'Pumpum' by Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi A man was visiting a mental hospital where the doctor was a close friend of his. The doctor took him around and showed him the patients. In one cell a man was sitting on a chair, rocking back and forth while he happily repeated the name, 'Pumpum, Pumpum, Pumpum…,' over and over again. The visitor said to the doctor, "Poor fellow. What is the problem? Who is this Pumpum?" The doctor replied, "Pumpum was his beloved. She jilted him and ran away with another man, which is why he went insane." The visitor sighed and went on to visit other patients. As they approached one cell, the visitor was surprised to see another man sitting in his cell hitting his head against the wall, as he uttered the same name, "Pumpum, Pumpum, Pumpum…" The visitor asked the doctor, "What is this? Has Pumpum something to do with this man, too?" The doctor replied, "Yes, this is the man whom Pumpum finally married." Sumpathetically, GeorgeSon Tired of spam?
