Guest guest Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 om amriteshwaryai namaha, " In spirituality, the seeker renounces all that he has to the Supreme Principle, God. All that one can claim as one's own, all the attachments and aversions one has are the product of one's ego. They can also be referred to as vasanas or accumulated tendencies. All these things which we claim as our own do not, in fact, belong to us since we have no control over them. Reputation, fame, position, our homes, wives, husbands, children - none of these can stay with us permanently. We may have such things now, but who knows what is going to happen the next moment? But this is not the case with the accumulated tendencies, with the ego. The ego is our own. It belongs to us. Nobody else can claim it. Therefore, real self-surrender is surrendering or renouncing one's ego at the feet of the Supreme Self. " - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4, p63 (0071) om hrim namah sivaya ! amma bless ! may all beings everywhere be peaceful, happy, healthy and awakening ! om lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu ! om santi santi santihi !
