Yes,

 

Definitely start with the Awaken Children Books, but

if Amma sees that you need some more in-depth

information about the spiritual path and your personal

journey, she will lead you to another Master and or

their teachings (books) so that you can put the pieces

of the puzzle together.

 

Swamiji and Amma mentioned reading the books of other

Spiritual Masters and their teachings during this

tour, it may have been at the San Ramon Q and A.

 

This is interesting to me to learn this, as far as

Amma covering certain topics about the stages of

Self-Realization, and signs to be aware of, and maybe

tools to use.

 

It would make sense that she would lead you to where

you need to be and to what you need to learn

regardless of where you are in physical proximity to

Her.

 

This has been my experience. And sometimes I stay

around a certain teacher for a short time, just to

receive a certain golden nugget from them.

 

Each Master will have their own bent and

personality...and may not jive with our personal

preferences...but they may be able to shed some light

in an area that you need and if they are a true

Master, will be able to share their realization with

you and help alleviate a bit of your Karma with their

blessing/darshan. But in essence they are all ONE

Master......

 

As Gurunath once said, it is not My Master and Your

Master....or Master, Master, Master....it is just

MMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR!
