Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 om amriteshwaryai namaha, [A devotee asks Mother why she allows a certain person to come to the ashram who, in the devotee's opinion, is unpleasant and of bad character]. " Son, God descends to the earth for the sake of people in ignorance. They need to be transformed. How can you judge someone when you yourself are plunged in ignorance? Do you know how much he regrets and repents his past? It is people like him that need the most attention. When someone like that changes for the better, it is of great benefit to society. " - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4 p263 (0241) " One needs only a little stain remover to remove a small spot, but more has to be applied if it is a bigger and denser spot. Likewise, a person who is already spiritually inclined may not need much attention and care, but a person who has spoiled his life without having any real principles to live by needs greater attention and personal care in order to be re-educated and to lead a worthwhile life. Light coffee needs only a little milk. Strong coffee needs more milk. Mother is ready to take any number of births to help such people. How can Mother abandon them? Who else would take care of them? " - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4 p263 (0242) " If that son is to be prevented from visiting Mother on account of your judgment, then you need to be driven away. You should get the same treatment. You are more ignorant than he. He, at least, openly admits his mistakes and expresses remorse, whereas you do no even know how much negativity you carry within you. Are you a perfect soul? No, you are not. " - Ammachi, Awaken Children, Vol.4 p263 (0243) " If that son is to be prevented from visiting Mother on account of your judgment, then you need to be driven away.

You see the bad in others because there is bad in you. Children, try to realize this truth. Do not point at the faults and errors of others. Realize your own mistakes and try to correct them. Let your own errors, your own ego, become a burden to yourself, not to other people.
