Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 All glories to My Guru !. Dear Devotees, I am seeing many postings that are focused towards 'Idol worship' . While paying obeisances to the Guru is good , one should not restrict self to mere 'Idol worship' of the Guru . AMMA is a role model of divine power . At the same time , Her personal life shows to us the path of self realization . Her consistent Bhakti-yoga is a lesson for us . If a person follows AMMA's personal example , he/she can attain self-realization due to Guru's grace . However, if one closes , own eyes and merely worships the Guru , it is difficult to imbibe the teachings of Guru . AMMA is one of the most honest Gurus ever lived . She has mercifully revealed Her life story in 100% truthful manner ; and it is a precious gem for the humanilty . Her sacrifices , one pointed focus on the Supreme and Her Sadhana constitute a great 'Personal Exmaple ' . Of course for the devotees , AMMA makes it very easy , becaue Guru's grace will enable them to attain Self realization very quickly . So, let us keenly watch AMMA and imbibe Her divine teachings without fail . A humble devotee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA Amma is definitely the ideal. the process requires constant effort. but also i think we worship to become until we become what we worship.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 All glories to my Guru ! . Dear Devotees . AMMA is a divine personality . Even after attaining self realization a disciple will be no match for Her . So we should understand this fundamental difference . If we watch closely we can see that AMMA is the ultimate renounciant . It is only out of Her infinite compassion towards the suffering humanity that , She is involving in Her pastimes as a Satguru . The disciples have the free will either to follow the footsteps of their Guru or to seek own ways . The intelligent disciple imbibes the teachings of AMMA to attain self realization without delay . Here is a great opportunity for all . A devotee.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 OM NAMAH SIVAYA nothing is greater than The Guru! She is not only the match but also the wind that fans the flames. She is the ultimate renunciant because She accepts everyone and everything. it seems the longer i long the less i know. what is self realization? what are Her teachings? but simply Divine Love. what is following Her footsteps but to go within and find our own way as She did? Her greatness is that She is there as each individual needs no matter the path or way, as all ways are really Her way. as says in The Guru Gita, The Guru is actually the Supreme Divinity, and therefore we bow down to the respected Guru.

This has been my feeling as well lately. With all of the many paths of yoga and all of the many Masters, disciples and devotees...and even the ones who are just following God in their chosen religion. It seems God will find us, wherever we are....and meet us there. Especially in this day and age with the world the way it is. It feels like the level of Grace available these days is a zillion times more powerful than it has ever been. Maybe we are wrapping up this world cycle a bit early as some have been predicting. Either way...to me...it seems that it is pointless to draw lines and separate ourselves in any way, shape, or form, even with spiritual titles and spiritual dress, as this too can become a bondage or a limitation of sorts. (Not Amma!!!! I can see the importance of it for others...but I am talking beyond the form here.) I have heard that the closer you get to the Goal, all distinctions..delineations and even cherished spiritual ideals must be released so that you can merge into the One. And yes...it seems like What is Self-Realization anyway!!! I totally get the wave you are in!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
