Guest guest Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Dear Amarnath ~ Thank you so much for sharing this. As I was watching the first video (saved the link to savor each at its own time), I remembered hearing and reading Amma's words, whether at one of Her tour programs, or in " Awaken Children, " She is, as you said, always referring to non-duality. One of the principle ways She does this is when She talks about how the concepts of " me " and " mine " need to drop away. Another way is the Witness. But the " me " and " mine " are so specific and this young man, Jeff Foster, used the same terminology. It was interesting to see him struggle to find words to explain the inexplicable. I think that is why Amma is so unique ... She in a sense fools us and draws us into nonduality through meditation, through singing, through worship, through selfless service. All these are opportunities for " me and mine " to drop away. I don't want to use any more words right now. I think I already use too many. Again, much thanks.

Some of these become " advaita " teachers and they do speak mostly specifically about their experience of non-duality. Here is a link to one of these advaita teachers who speaks very clearly about his awakening : (shared in the spirit that Amma has many helpers) http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Jeff+Foster+-+Life+Without+A+Centr e+ & search_type= & aq=f **************One site has it all.
