My New Job Thru Amma

[Guest guest]

Thank you for this story, Adriane. I recently acquired a second job and quit

in two weeks due to how two out of three of my new co-workers treated me. It

was my first job where I wanted to go on anti-depressants that quickly

because of it. Since it was my second job, and I suddenly started getting a lot

of

hours at the other job (which I love) I decided to not stick around. But your

story will be good inspiration for when I encounter it again in the future.

=) Jai Ma!

Some of you know my story about how Amma told me to search for a job

and now that I have it, I have a story I wanted to share with you.

 

Having Amma just makes you put every little thing in life into

perspective. My trainer did not take a liking to me. In fact,

sometimes he hurt my feelings so much that I cried in the restroom in

private at lunchtime. Soon afterwards, I quickly recovered when I

realized that his anger is only a sign of how lost he is and how much

deep pain he probably is carrying. He was not mean all the time and

could be quite funny as well. So I have to give him credit. And maybe

something about me is annoying! LOL I also had another guy in

the class who would rip me to shreds when the instructor was out of

the class. Others commented on this and were quite upset. I made a

decision to be nice all the same.

 

We had our " graduation " at work yesterday. I took great joy in making

it a very special day for everyone. I made up overflowing treat bags

for all the other people in our class-everyone was always hungry!

They were a fantastic group of people to work with. I wish

we were all going to be on the same team but we are not. I just love

them! We chipped in and being the mom I am took care of everything in

getting our trainer's gifts. I wanted to make it very special for him.

I got him a great balloon bouquet, confetti around the room, snacks

and the gifts.

 

First my coworkers arrived and were so thrilled at this special

treatment. It was just such a joy to do this. Celebrating life is

what it's all about. When our instructor opened the door, he was

clearly shocked. We also surprised him by clapping for him. We him a

Best Teacher ribbon, and some other gifts.

 

He was so overwhelmed that he cried! Immediately I realized that AMMA

was touching him! I realized I had done all these things for him-he

never expected me to do this stuff -and Amma popped into my head when

he first began to cry. I truly felt that Amma had reached out to him

thru me. It was a very strong feeling that this was true. It was

Amma's love that he was feeling but he does not know this. He did not

know what was happening that he was so emotional. He remained very

emotional all day-crying again at the ceremony. I could see that this

was not something he had done very often-crying. I also realized that

he never felt very loved or appreciated. I recalled that I had Amma's

picture at work one day during testing and he saw it. I just know

this was Amma's doing-that his heart exploded open. Amma's love is so

different-and this was felt very strongly. He seemed confused about

how he just kept crying all day!

 

I have learned to try to always be loving no matter how people act.

It's not always easy when someone hurts us. But as Amma reminds us,

today's friend could be tomorrow's enemy and today's enemy-tomorrow's

friend. I always try to treat people the very best that I can because

our loving kindness can sometimes transform them. Love alone can make

people turn into who they really are. When they cannot be kind-we

must realize the deep pain and ignorance that they are carrying. WE

must feel compassion.

 

I recall one day not too long ago in class, that while looking at him-

my trainer, Tom, I was suddenly filled with compassion. My heart was

so full for him. Amma helps me all the time. And the other guy in

class, he treats me now with loving kindness and we may even become

friends.

 

It is only Amma's shining loving example that even allows me to do

this at any time. Without Her I am really nothing. She keeps me

going. Aren't we so fortunate to have this living guru, Mahatma,

Avatar-the Supreme Ocean of Love in our midst?

 

As far as being loving, I am no AMMA, of course!! Sure I don't do

this all the time. It's hard to always be nice when we are faced with

adversity. WE must just keep trying. We can change and transform

lives with love all around us. We must just always do the very best

we can. When we fall down, do not look back but look ahead on how to

do better next time. We must learn from our errors.

 

I send you all love and may you always feel Amma's presence each day.

May she always guide us on the right path-of Her Divine Love.

 

in Amma,

Adriane

Dear Adriane,

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story with us. I too have

found if you face whatever comes with love, that love transforms all,

even if we don't see the results immediately. In Amma's Love, mare

Om Namah Shivaya,

 

This is great! Thank you so much for sharing it. It IS Amma. A woman who

uses drugs & prostitutes from time to time, has also expressed an interest in

Amma, but hasn't been able to meet Her, yet. It pretty much floored me when she

said that that she didn'tknow Amma, except though me. It was VERY humbling, as

I am not anywhere near being like Amma. This called me to task, & is humbling

when I fall short daily. But, what she said has helped to make me kinder & more

loving, realizing that we are how many people know Amma.

 

Thank you again, Adrianne. I'l be sharing your letter with others

This is so cool! I have been pondering the existence of people who do evil and

how does

one go about loving them (or even just not feeling anger towards them), and your

story

was here this morning when I checked in! I see that Amma truly does provide

answers

when we need them. I am reminded of a lady at the deli counter at a nearby

grocery store.

She was always very morose and almost unfriendly whenever she waited on people.

One

day, I responded to her asking if I wanted help, with an inquiry of " how are YOU

today " -

She was taken aback, I think. I went out of my way to be friendly and cheerful

with her,

and soon, whenever I came to the store, she would always greet me with a smile.

I like to

hope it affected her mood for other customers too.

We never know how much we can affect others-wonderful story, Adriane

Recently watched Amma's video 1996 European Tour.

All of Her translated program talks

repeated the same message on Love.

Amma said we should not expect Love from others

or from the world;

but that, rather, we should become givers of Love.

 

And reading something by Robert Adams,

he pointed out that by becoming givers

we open ourselves up to God's Grace.

I'm sure Amma says the same thing someplace.

 

Namaste !
