Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 perhaps, "one-pointedness" would be a good topic for discussion? there are so many different ways to approach this 1) some can lead to enlightenment quickly 2) while the other extreme can lead to dogmatic control 3) and everything else in the middle amma bless, amarnath PS ~ i prayed to amma, clicked and this came up: "In the old days Mother was not even able to call 'Krishna'. The body-consciousness would be lost immediately. If concentration was not gained in meditation I would angrily jump towards Devi's portrait shouting at Her. I used to beat my head on the wall. Not to speak of other times! I would embrace Devi's picture with overflowing love and crumble it into pieces. In those days, whoever came Mother would only see them as Devi. If I happened to see any good looking girls nicely dressed up I would leap and jump out of bliss. I felt all of them to be Devi." - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol. 1 p249 (0893) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 That is always the catch-22. The best ways generally can also be abused the easiest in the opposite direction. Nice quote!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Is this from that Dearamma software? (Quotes from Awaken Children). Do you know where to get this? I saw it on a google search, but it was referenced from 2000 or so. S > PS ~ i prayed to amma, clicked and this came up: > > "In the old days Mother was not even able to call > 'Krishna'.
