Namaste dear Chris and the list!!

 

interestingly enough, Ammachi has just provided the exact answer to

your question, Herself, in regard to the Hitler question!!! this just

appeared on the Amma list!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

"When a challenge confronts the nation you must fight for the good of the

country, if it is a good cause, but with detachment. In order to fight

without attachment, the battle must be waged not against the evil-doer

but

against the evil. The fighting is not against an egotistic person in the

opposite army but against the ego,

the destructive force.

 

....If some country or leader poses a threat to a country or to the world,

threatening all nations and all of humanity, you may fight, but fight

with

love. If you go to war, fight with love for humanity; fight against

evil and

against unrighteousness. Fight with detachment, for real love arises

from

detachment.

 

.... It (the battle) becomes selfless service extended toward the

entire human

race out of love and compassion.
