Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Dear Temba ~ I too am weary of the leela of this world. My only solace is the joy in knowing Amma, and that She is here for me, and also in knowing that you and this group are my friends. I share your frustration about people not helping more. But even one, such as yourself, and others in this group, make a huge difference. My own pain sometimes blinds me to the pain of others, and then I must ask Her forgiveness. When I was still able to work, I believed with all my heart that I was being used to reach out to others to create large networks of " helpers. " And I have seen you doing this also. Now imagine that Linda is standing at the edge of Niagra Falls, and imagine that the falls and all the water it pours into are very polluted. Now imagine Linda standing there with an eye dropper, and every hour or so, letting one drop of pure water into that vast pollutedness. But now imagine hundreds and thousands of people all standing at the top of the falls, each periodically, according to their own abilities, adding drops of pure water. Eventually the pure water will push the polluted water out and transform the falls and all the water it flows into to pure clean sparkling water. I don't know if this metaphor makes any sense to you, but consider, dear brother, that you, and all the members of Amma's Digest Group, and all Her devotees standing at the top of the falls with buckets of pure clean water. It will still take time for the water to become transformed, but it will happen more quickly. And you, Temba, have a very big bucket, and you inspire others to put down their eye droppers and go get buckets. This Kali Yuga is very trying, and yet it is part of the natural evolution/devolution of the great cycles of time and the universe. In a way, though it may seem difficult to believe, we are lucky to have been born into this Kali Yuga time, because this is the time when our work for change, can perhaps have the most significance. In some ways, I feel like I'm tripping over my own words, and don't know if what I say is of any help or use. Just know Temba that your reach has extended far and wide, in all the ways you have and are having worked to make a difference. To me, you are a shinig beacon. Have no doubt that you are inspiring other to turn their lights on. Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda >>Temba wrote >>...to be honost with u dear beloved sister.sometimes i get fed up with this selfish world!i >>say things like " why wont more people unite and help " then AMMA reminds me that,that >>is not my business.SHE reminds me that it only up to me to do the little i can to help >>remove,just a little of the selfishness from this world,by pouring my heart out to it.it is my >>selfishness that i can remove.that i attempt to do through living by HER example...
