Guest guest Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 my Guru Sri Karunamayi tells us to see other teachers , I always give my humble respects to Ammachi whenever She is in town ( I have to say at first that got me confused , because I thought maybe I am supposed to be with Ammachi I have very intense dreams with Ammachi) . However Sri Karunamayi says How can I give You wisdom if I forbit You seeing other teachers . She even says not giving respect to other teachers is sin .. I think giving respect to Gurus is very good , wells its different following a lot of Gurus that can be confusing that is what I think Ammachi means . joanna > > This comes from book: "Silence of the Heart" > by Robert Adams who was a direct disciple of > the great sage Ramana Maharshi > > www.satsangwithstuart.com is/was a disciple of Robert Adams > > Amma Bless, > amarnath > > Ammachi, Stacee Kramer <stacee.kramer@> wrote: > > > > Thanks Amarnath, > > > > Where did this dialog come from?
