Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Dear A, I have not watched these videos, but they seem to be slanted to a certain judgment. Are you trying to help in a loving way by listening and teaching around what you are hearing, or putting this into a category that lumps all failed relationships together? The truth is that this situation is a very dangerous situation as I have been told by many experts. These things happen all the time in religious organizations. And need to be dealt with delicately and with love. Ammachi and her inner circle have all been quite mean and standoffish. We are all one and all human as far as I am concerned. It was Ammachi's responsibility to protect each involved and to take care of each appropriately. Her behavior quite often is just to say OK and let us do whatever we want to do. If it is Dharmically wrong for one of her Bramachari's to have a friendship with someone in the world then why is she encouraging it? She should act with care and love at all times and teach appropriately to the situation. During the summer tour I watched all of the Bramachari's and Swami's interact with the lay people very freely. This is what they do every year. Ammachi's teachings are not clear, she teaches them to act one way in India, but does not encourage them to retain their vows while traveling around the world to the degree that they should be freely speaking to the people who visit and live in the world. It is a sign of laziness in her teachings and a dangerous double standard that is bound to come to a tragedy as it has in my life and others. I know for a fact this has happened to other lay people. Ammachi should not travel with renunciates globally or have them adhere to stricter rules. Either they live in the world like you and I and have the freedom to fraternize with all of society, which they do, or they are truly representing a higher level of humility and service for humanity to see, although that too is I think unnecessary. As we do not need to see what they are doing in there lives. I still feel Ammachi has taken on too much. She should have remained a quiet guru in India for others to find her and study quietly with her, or a saint who travels around the world giving her Darshan like Mother Meera, who remains silent, and has no interest in personal friendship and contact with the people that she is serving. Mother Meera shows no interest at all in fact, in exposing her personality to humanity other than to do her service and give grace. She is a rare avatar. Ammachi has watered down the sacredness of her guru and her sainthood by her way of teaching and she has created many dangers for those who live with and follow her. ________________________________ anatol_zinc <anatol_zinc Ammachi Sat, January 2, 2010 12:23:23 PM Re: To Stacee Namaste Stacee, did you see my post on relationships youtube videos? perhaps these will help the thing is, there are so many problems/challenges in life and failed relationships are some of the most difficult ones to handle but there is only one way out and that is to get over it without blame, judgments, resentments, etc we all realize, it's easier said then done, but all our " preaching " and sharing is coming from heart read my post " My Failed Relationship " and what helped me 39 years ago GOOD LUCK !

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 not slanted at all, Mooji himself has a girlfriend, but, the message is that, in my POV, if you first know yourself as LOVE, which is your true nature, then all relationships will be from giving LOVE unconditionally without any expectations and not being hurt if things do not seem to work out instead of depending on the relationship to somehow create love, usually called romantic love, which it seems to do only temporarily and then huge disappointment later, etc also Don Miguel Ruiz's book " Mastery of Love " is all about relationships why most do not work and understanding what makes relationships work Ammachi , Stacee Kramer <stacee.kramer wrote: > > Dear A, > > I have not watched these videos, but they seem to be slanted to a certain judgment.
