AMMA please give your BLESSING..." "AMMA GIVES HER 100% BLESSING AND SHE WILL SPEAK TO THE BOARD AS WELL...."-AMMA this was the conversation that this child had with AMMA about this vision of AMMAs.. this was taken from the actual piece of paper that BIG swami tranlated from a week or so ago.. AMMAs sun shares this with his brothers and sisters because this is the closest thing to his heart..what this child has been given is yours as well... >Prajna - Brianna <prajnaji > >Ammachi >Ammachi >Re: 2 things reply >Sun, 25 Jun 2006 16:52:15 -0700 (PDT) > >Thank you, Mary Ann.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 dear childofdevi, namaste, please forgive me, but brother temba pointed out in previous post that this is not his dream, IT IS AMMA's DREAM and temba is merely the BLESSED INSTRUMENT one of many blessed instruments since it will take many for this seva Amma says that whatever we do even little things in our moment to moment life we should feel that God is doing it and we are merely the blessed istruments. We should feel this continuously not just when we do SEVA then every moment will be SEVA( if a label is needed? ) I feel that temba wants to share this Amma Dream with all of us so that it does not become a burden on whatever ego still remains with him and with us remember, our spiritual goal is still to surrender our egos to God/Amma and i feel the above will help temba and all of us Amma, please do not let this message be misunderstood. Thank you Amma! amma bless, amarnath Ammachi, "childofdevi" <childofdevi wrote: > > Way to go brother Temba!!
