Not naive at all, Mare. More like attuned to divine Love.

 

People can believe what they like, but what Amma is doing is a

lifelong sacrifice. She could revel in bliss but instead she does

20-hour days, week after week, year after year. All the hugging

injures her body but she goes on joyously. She has inspired and

healed so many people.

 

The store spreads teachings, devotional music, sandalwood and

murthies while redistributing wealth from rich countries to the poor.

What's wrong with that? I have never bought saris or jewelry there,

but oh the bhajans, what riches!

 

I looked at the page Keval referenced. I can't believe that Amma

said, put the bastards back on the bus. Why should i place credit in

the rest of the stories? I am quite sure that Amma has never gone for

the lap of luxury as they implied, and someone ably refuted these

ridiculous charges on that page. Sad to say, some of the devotees did

her no credit with the lesbian-baiting comments they mixed in, but

that takes us back to Mare's advice.

 

Stay steady and strong and emanate Love.

 

thanks,

Max
