Mud Slinging on a Spiritual Forum

[Guest guest]

Tony, i agree with you about this whole issue regarding lashing out. I felt physically ill after reading Tom's statement that a beautiful and precious saint such as Shree Ma is a "phony", and it sickened me even more that this kind of statement is allowed to be posted on this spiritually oriented forum full of devotees. It is shameful to allow such disrespectful and ignorant statements to be posted on this forum. It is our dharma to use discrimination and demonstrate restraint on this forum which our Beloved Mother has given Her blessing to. Amma's entire life is devoted to the expression of Respect and Wisdom. Our words and our actions should bring glory and respect to our Beloved Guru and to all the Beloved saints we are so immensely fortunate to have with us in this lifetime. Mud slinging belongs in bars and places of low consciousness, where people have not consciously made the choice to move beyond ignorance and transcend the lower tendencies of the ego.

May Amma's Light and Wisdom guide our every thought, and our every word. May our lives be a humble and beautiful offering of Love and Devotion at Her Lotus Feet.

In Her Love Always,

Sanatani

Amarnath, you fit the profile of those I've met who've actually left

their guru:

 

1. Very devoted to their guru, even emotional at times when

thinking or discussing their guru.

 

2. Attend satsang and events regularly or at least semi-regularly,

even though they have issues with it.

 

3. Pre-mature practice of Advaita, Self-Inquiry, and/or too much

practice of the Philosophical Teachings (the Ideals) of their guru.

 

I know you do japa Amarnath, but your talk here fits number 3 above,

and I've received the same speeches from those who are now fallen,

for years prior to their current condition.

 

The Causes and Solutions is a longer posting I'll leave for later,

but I thought I'd at least mention this because many people fit this

description.
