Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 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!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 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!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I thought " too many " meant you were concerned and not recognizing value in the posts.
