We on the spiritual path have said that this crucifixion was symbolic of the ego ,yet we can see it also playing out in our lives and in the lives of the Saints. What Master has walked this earth and not been met with controversial opinions?Have we not beheld this happening over and over again.Who will be strong enough to say that we all would be wise to look in the mirror and look at our very own hypocrisy.... " Om Amrtesvaryai Namah!! Namaskarams!! thank you Temba for a very beautifully expressed " credo " ...i think that you have 'hit the nail on the head' so to speak with that posting. i think that some people are all too eager to blame Amma for everything bad that happens in their lives....but what about the good things? do they blame Her for those too? or only the bad ones....if one is going to assign blame to the Guru, or God for what happens to one in a negative way, one must also assign the " blame " for all good things that happen to one to that same Guru or God, or one is simply not very consistent. on the other hand, if we want to say that the good things have arrived in our lives due to our own work, and our own merits, then we must also admit that the bad things that happen to us, may also be due to our own actions and our own lack of merits.... you can't blame God for the bad things and take all the credit for the good ones. (well...you can, but it's not very ethical or correct)... when Amma is blamed for breaking up marriages, and families, i would tend to say that either those families NEEDED breaking up, (if they really did break up)...as happened to me just before i met Amma, when She was " cleaning house " , during my sade sati, (seven and one half years of " bad luck " when Saturn was oppressing my birth moon by transit.... i could blame Mother for it, but even then i could see that it was really better that the breakup happen, despite the temporary pain and dislocation. this was true, and now my ex wife and i (and my current wife) are best of friends... incidentally, how many of these unfortunates that are blaming Amma for their troubles, have investigated their Vedic Astrological birth charts, with regard to current transits when the bad things happen. Just as Mother has said so many times, people often come to Her for help, when suffering from afflictions by the planets Saturn, Mars, and Rahu-Ketu.... Sade sati (seven and one half years of Saturn Transitting birth moon) is one particularly bad time for most people...they lose people close to them. any flaws in character get magnified and rubbed in one's own face, until one becomes humble enough to address them and correct them somewhat...Saturn does NOT like people who think they are superior to others...He prefers the humble ones, who help poor folks and old folks... so any troubles in one's life, i would suggest might require the investigation of one's astrological issues, rather than just lumping all the blame on Mother. She does say that She can work with some of these negative karmas, reducing them somewhat, if one has enough faith, and is willing.....but She doesn't promise to relieve all our ills...often She will say that She could remove the trouble, but that we might have to go through it again in the future, as we haven't really dealt with the issue...we can't expect Her to fix EVERYTHING...She often will work with our attitudes ABOUT the issues, rather than the issues themselves. i think that people expect too much out of Mother when they meet Her and when everything doesn't immediately turn up rosy, and they get enlightened, the delusions quickly shift in a negative direction.... ie, " since She didn't give me all i want, She CAN'T do it...since She broke up my family She's nasty, since She didn't give me instant liberation, She CAN'T do it... " no thought of whether " i " might actually have earned any breaks, or not, whether " i " might be ready for liberation or not, whether my family should have stayed together or not....nope...just BLAME the GURU!!! She's got wide and strong shoulders...She can take it!!! as i've said so many times before to the Amma nay sayers...we should look in our own eyes and remove the beams of bad character that reside there, before we even think of criticising ANY ONE ELSE for their spiritual life, and most especially our GURU....(if we have truly accepted Her as our Guru, that is). if you don't like how the organisation works, don't hang out with them...just do your practices inwardly...if you don't like how Amma works...and want to leave, go ahead LEAVE! but you don't really have the right to try and convert everyone else in the Amma families to your skepticism and doubt. you CAN'T help others in this manner. you can only do damage to them.
