Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 isn't it so sweet that even with all the media coverage and awards,AMMA still sleeps on the foor.what an example of selfless service we all have.i take this great example for granted so much.AMMA says awaken children ,yet i still sleep..AMMA says that no true happiness will be derived from mediationunless i serve the poor,yet i continue to serve my mind and ego. oh beloved and darling children of AMMA,how this heart longs for the day when he wakes up and remembers who he really is.do any of you long for this as well?do any of you have a longing to love and serve as our beloved AMMA does?i know you must,because after all you are AMMA devotees. someone mentioned that tom's comment's made them sad and i feel her pain,but what makes me sad is that when someone mentions serving the less fortunate,or shares victory's of commpassion,there is very little said about it. i have realized that there is very much subtle suffering amongs this group(among spiritual people).it is not gross like maybe people sleeping in a cardboard box and being homeless,but i am becoming more aware that the suffering among the so-callled spiritual people could infact be worse.could it be that we are AMMA devotees because we are the sick and selfish ones?it takes courage to see it this way. JESUS said that he came to the heal the sick,and i bet that most of the so-called spiritual people of his time,thought that he was talking about everyone else ,but them...do any of us think like this?AMAZING GRACE ,AMMA saved a wretch like me is one of my mantra's.some of you all may say ,oh you are degrading yourself.no beloved family, i am accepting my need and want to be purified by HER MERCY,GRACE AND DIVINE LOVE. tom,you ,or anyone else can never do anything worse then i have done ot myself..it is my mind that creates war.when i point fingers at others ,i am pointing them at myself.i am not above,nor below anyone.if we place our ATTENTION on LOVE ,we will see that showing up in our lives as individual's.How much more powerfull will this be if we do this as a group? LOVE AND SERVE ,are AMMA's simple instructions.LOVE AND SERVE.LOVE AND SERVE.LOVE AND SERVE.we don't have to be perfect at this,but we can keep longing for this.we can keep placing our ATTENTION ON LOVE AND SERVICE!we are all in love with AMMA for not what SHE says,but for what SHE does... non-stop hugs since 1987!non-stop acts of compassion!never forgeting the less fortunate of this world!if we place our attention there,that is what will show up in our lives.i am noticing that so many devotees in n.america are serving more.we started COLI(circle of love inside)with one or two of us ,now there are 100 or more letters writers.we started bringing the homeless to AMMA at san ramon program and now this is being done in chicago and LA.i just discoved that the LA satsang is teaching raw food habits to the homeless out there. it seems that we are helping people and that may be true,but who is really being helped?anyone who does any seva to the less fortunate will admit that,it is our heart's that opens and it is us that is being served by that which they are serving.if we talk about things such as this,these type of things will GROW AND GROW AND GROW,just like the discussions about our beloved brother tom...LOVE AND SERVE.LOVE AND SERVE.LOVE AND SERVE.AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA IS LOVE.YOU ARE LOVE,YOU ARE LOVE ......AMMA is LOVE.........AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA,AMMA Ammachi ; Mmrivertalk: ksvas97: Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:28:11 -0700 Trom is a backstabber?/ Planted by Church? I expect the moderator ,I think Mike Brooker should stop the wrong and immoral messages of Tom.Tom never posted a single positive message in the last few years and and his messages smells like typical church representative to weaken one's faith in Amma.Tom must be thrown out of this group, the same way you deal with trash.Systematization and management structure is required, for spiritual movements and missions, otherwise ignorants and back stabbers spread like disease or virus.If one doesn't like Amma's message or mission, they can un-.My request and advise to non Hindu followers of Amma isif you follow and practice Mantras, or spiritual life , follow and practice it in the letter and spirit, otherwise, don't do it.It is absolute time and money waste.If you look at the past of spiritual missions of a lot of Spiritual leaders, you see scandalous behavior by a lot of back stabbers and fake guys sometimes planted by jealous church.Take the case of ISKCON. Srila Prabupada had written 70 spiritual books and spread the Spiritual message of Sri Krishna.But some of his own followers involved in sexual abuse and a lot of other illegal and immoral things and damaged the Mission.So, any spiritual movement requires controls and balances, at least in this group.The communication in the group should bring better understanding and Moderator should refuse any message which are derisive, negative, bad and damaging in nature.Oum Namah Shivayah!Mmrivertalk wrote:Aum Amriteswaryai NamahaNamaste TomI write this with tears in my heart concerning your comment about Swamiji. I experience Swamiji to be the breath and extension of our dear Amma. I find him and the other senior swami(s) to be a profound example of service and humility. Tom you are free to express your opinions, but please know this ones heart feels bruised by the disrespect of a younger brother to an elder brother that has sacrificed and served Amma so selflessly. Like Amma my soul is blessed to contemplate touching the feet of this great one we call Swamiji. Brother why would you express something like that? I hope this one can be taken to the altar of healing. All i can say is that as for me an my house this " another over-rated robe " is a " Great Soul and beloved Elder Brother " .marci**************Need a new ride?
