Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 " the most important thing Amma is teaching us is how to love. It is the greatest thing that we can aspire to learn, and yet it is probably what we have understood the least. It is much easier to learn how to meditate, Chant or do seva, than to truly love. But unless we have learned how to love, nothing else really matters. Many years ago Amma was talking with me, and I wanted to talk about tapas and vairagya with Her. But she kept bringing the subject back to love. I was a little annoyed by this because I wanted to talk about something " deeper " with Her. But she kept bringing the subject back to love. Finally, I said to Her, " But, I don't want to love! " Amma's reply was " Then what are you existing for? " Clearly, from her point of view, love is not only the essence of spirituality; it is the essence of life itself.
