Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Namah Shivaya, Sweta brought up some very good points. As we are learning in the Guru Gita, showing any disrespect for the Guru, could potentially do some great harm to our spiritual growth. Any comments about anyone Amma has placed in a leadership position, are in a way, also directed to Amma. This sounds like very sticky territory and not a place worth going.... Amma teaches Love, Compassion, Mercy, Forgiveness, Acceptance, Surrender, Faith, Trust..... Our minds should be focused toward how we can best serve, rather than who it is we can put down. This is the complete opposite of what Amma stands for. It seems the people who are devoting their entire lives to support Amma's work are completely jazzed by what it is that she stands for. They are willing to give up everything for this. We have it easy here in the US. We take so much for granted. Tom, have you ever been to India? Have you spoken at all to anyone who has lived at Amritapuri? We have our freedom here, we can come and go as we please, work where we want, do what we want with our lives, but the ones who travel and live near Amma give up their freedom entirely to support Her work and to learn by Her example. One shares Love, when they feel Love. Your actions do not at all represent Amma's teachings. Why is it that you are here? What do you wish to receive by participating in an on-line Satsang that is in Support of a specific Spiritual Master? What is that you wish to share, that supports the spiritual growth of the people who are in this community with you and supports the message and the teachings of Ammachi?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I deeply believe that if you asked Amma what would be disrespectful to Her, She would reply that we are all part of Her, and that being disrespectful to anyone or anything is indeed being disrespectful to Her. After all, is there anything that is NOT Amma? Sanatani Stacee Kramer <stacee.kramer (AT) sbcglobal (DOT) net> wrote: Namah Shivaya, Sweta brought up some very good points.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I find writing in derogatory means about Amma's chosen Swami is cowardly act, try facing D. Himself looking Him in the eye and saying how You feel about Him instead of writing all this nastiness on line , address this to Amma and D.... , that is like back stabbing behind someone's back ( not cool at all ) ...... Amma has chosen this Swami for reason hope You will not doubt that. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
