Friends,I am sorry I have been away for awhile. Kind of frustrated

with the whole thing. Can't even remember if I posted

previously on Anasuya Devi into this group or into the Saadhnaa

group. But in any case, I have not left totally. Any one who would

like to email me, please do so. I think some of my emails never got

out when I replied, due to some malfunctioning on 's part. So

if you are one of the people who previously emailed to me and

suddenly did not hear from me, please do try again. Here are some

sayings/quotes by the 'Mother of All' taken from the book "MOTHER OF

ALL" by Richard Schiffman, on the Jillellamud Mother, Amma Anasuya

Devi:"The gods assume various forms and come as incarnations on

occasion to meet different needs. But Mother exists forever and

includes everything within Herself. She who is simultaneously

everything and everywhere is Mother." (p. 3l4)"You ask me: What is

your message? I've got nothing of the sort to offer you, my child.

Only if I thought that you were capable of acting on my words would I

give you "a message." In my view, giving a message isn't telling you

to act in a certain way; it is actually making you do it. The

message is what actually happens, not what we merely talk about

abstractly. But since you are asking for words, here is my message:

Eat what you have with contentment, and give what you have with love

and regard to others. And have faith that God is doing everything."

(p. 3l4)"I have all of the same qualities which you have. I am just

like you. They worship me because, owing to their purity of heart,

they see the divine in me. But I am in no way different from you. I

experience pain and pleasure, attachment and bereavement just as you

do. The only difference is that I don't try to shun pain and sorrow.

I abandon myself to them without the least inhibition." (p. 3l6)Any

one interested in reading more about this Mother, may purchase the

book from The Blue Dove Foundation, 4204 Sorrento Valley Blvd., Suite
