Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Dearest Self, Pure Soul of all brothers and sisters, As Amma's words suggested in some previous post, let us acknowledge our mistakes and repent ! It is due to our past conditioning that we label and judge others. To truly not judge is not that easy. Because, even to point out that someone is judging is yet another judgment. Even to point out that we should do selfless-service, or be more devotional or more japa, etc is yet, in a sense, another judgment. And even these words can be interpreted by someone as judgmental. Even though I'm doing my best not to be judgmental, but simply to express my best understanding at this time about a very basic spiritual principle taught by Jesus, Buddha, Amma, Peace Pilgrim and many others. Dayamritaji, many times has told me that it's best to " keep quiet " much of the time rather that point out mistakes of others. Of course as a parent or teacher, etc it may appropriate, but even then it needs to be done with compassion and understanding. According to " Attitudinal Healing " all our responses and reactions are either from a source of Love or a source of Fear. So, as our thoughts and feelings arise, let us be aware and discriminate their source: Love or fear, Formless or form, Self or non-Self, Real or illusion. Let us all pray for strength to respond only from Love and not react out of fear. In past whatever judgments and labels we used against each other, let us from Love forgive each other. And I sincerely ask, the pure soul of everyone, for forgiveness for all my faults and weaknesses and any inappropriate words that may have hurts others in the past. om santi, amarnath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Maybe if " ji " would admit his own mistakes more readily, it would inspire others to also be humble enough to learn-from-mistakes-and-shortcomings. Instead, there's a bureaucracy of not being perfect, yet never wrong. There's a difference between reckless criticism and needed information for growth. Expecting his direction to come solely from the physical guru is ridiculous.
