I posted this at AmmaBhakti yesterday and I think it is appropos here,

too, in response to people's concerns about " too many posts " on a

certain topic:

 

" The family house should not be a place where a group

of individuals live together in conflict, always fighting

and arguing. It is not a place for just eating and sleeping,

thinking that this is what life is and that this is what

enjoyment is. That makes family life hell. It will cut

your personality to pieces. Family life such as this is

equal to death. A person who leads this kind of life in his

family is nothing more than a corpse. This kind of family is

like a prison where the inmates have no personal contact;

they are just there, adjacent to one another. But you can

turn your family into a haven, your house into a home, an

abode of happiness and bliss, a place of peace and love.

There definitely is effort involved; it can be a kind of

sadhana (spiritual practice). " -- Amma

 

Amma has encouraged us not to only love our own families, but to love

all people, so each interaction can be sadhana. Note, Amma

acknowledges the effort involved!

I will be honest here, I am not sure what the point of this post is.

 

By " too many posts " I was not sarcastic or anything negative, I was

just happy that many people found it worthwhile to post about

this .... the written word can be interpreted in so many ways!

I thought " too many " meant you were concerned and not recognizing

value in the posts. Thanks for sharing your happiness :)
