Amma ~ “The past is like a canceled check.”

Amma ~ " The past is like a canceled check. "

 

my 2cents:

Obama seems to be in line with this teaching of Amma saying he wants

to go forward and change things for the better; he does not want to

investigate and prosecute those who may have violated laws and made a

mess of things, as some constitutional scholars are advising him to

do. This is also in line with Gandhi's acknowledgment that being aware

of his own weaknesses, helped him to be more tolerant of mischief

makers, forgiving them and giving them a chance to go forward and even

helping Gandhi.

 

This may also be in line with scripture, " leave vengeance unto the Lord. "

 

Also, sort of like Lincoln, Obama is reaching out to his opponents to

work with him. Obama met with McCain and asked him to help with things

that they both agree on like curbing corruption in government,

no-torture, global warming, etc.

 

I find it interesting and inspirational whenever world leaders align

themselves with spiritual principles of non-violence, forgiveness, and

taking positive steps to go forward. It is interesting that past

Presidents Clinton and Carter are both doing considerable charity work

around the world. But, my feeling is that perhaps an opportunity for

greatest charity will come soon by creating a U.S. Department of Peace

and Non-Violence. And just imagine if other nations do likewise.

 

Perhaps, this should be added to the prayer list:

" U.S. Department of Peace and Domestic Non-Violence "

 

thanks for listening

 

Amma Bless,

Namah Shivaya, Amarnath,

 

Might we phrase it as:

" That every nation may work towards peace and non-violence " ?

 

Jai Ma,

Pranada
