To Eric: Responsibility of the Send Button

[Guest guest]

Eric wrote {IN THE CONTXT OF ASKING AMMA TO POST

HERE}:

 

"find all here seem to take the responsibility that

comes with hitting the send button seriously. which is

evident by the wisdom, thoughtfulness and

consideration of the words exchanged. it seems to me

that all of you collectively are any message Amma

would send us. Amma works thru you."

 

Dear Eric:

 

Vedanta talks about the collective mind and the

individual mind.

 

Collectively all three gunas are on display here. If

I were to estimate it seems that Rajas is most in

play.

 

Those of us who have had her blessed contact need to

remember that before we flame someone it may be

indicative of unresolved and unrestrained anger. The

old western series "Have Gun Will Travel" used the

phrase (which entered mainstream lexicon) "Shoot first

and answer questions later".

 

Amma during Satsang (I believe in Marlbrough '06)

repeated this great incident between Lord Krishna and

the Gopis at Brindavan.

 

{{Forgive my attempt at paraphrase}}.

 

The Gopis were becoming jealous of one another. One

Gopi would think Lord Krishna dances with the other

Gopi longer than me. Another Gopi would wonder if Sri

Krishna smiled more often at another Gopi and so on

....

 

Sri Krishna decided to teach them a lesson. He

gathered them in an assembly and said (again I

clumsily paraphrase from debilitated memory cells)

 

"I have observed that most of you have great reverence

for items considered holy. For example the water of

the Ganges is sometimes put aside and placed on your

alter. Even a rock from some venerable locale is held

as precious. Every one of you have obtained some

object from My possession. Some of you have a part of

one My feathers. Some of you have perhaps a piece of

one of my articles of clothing or flute. But please

my children, be aware that ALL OF YOU HAVE TOUCHED ME

OR HUGGED ME AT CERTAIN TIMES. That makes each and

every one of you Prasad."

 

So here comes two more centavos. WAKE UP CALL Namaste

Lokaha etc.

 

"Most of you who post here have had Amma's Darshan.

 

With Love,
