Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 I had a second dream in the past month of Ammachi last night. I was in India with a group (maybe a school group), and it was our last day, and we were in Kerala. I was desperate to seek out Amma's ashram, and wandered into town to ask someone. But everyone I saw was wearing big crosses and were talking about how great Jesus was, so I shied away from them, since I figured they wouldn't know. And before I could ask one of the people there, a terrible hurricane-type thing blew in. It was smashing in windows and the downpour was horrendous. Somehow, I had been granted the ability to make objects (and myself) hover and move simply by willing it very strongly. So I willed myself to sort of run/fly through the storm and I made it out. Found my way to a red-sand desert that I knew the ashram was in. So I wandered all around, getting desperate because of time and I found my way to an ashram. But it was of this elderly white woman and it was more like a temple/giftshop/ashram all in one. And I was thinking "this isn't what I want! I want Amma!" and someone was mentioning how this guru has her diciples take extensive vows of silence and that made me even more wary, though the back of my mind was telling me to trust Amma, and if this is what she wills, then so be it. I could see the elderly woman as an Avatar of Devi as well, so that wasn't the problem. I found a stick of black soot or chalkish type stuff on a counter while I was waiting for her and I drew a talik on my brow since I had just had darshan with the small altar in the place. Then she came in, all smiles and greeted me warmly and said "I'm so glad you're here! I just got off the phone with Amma, such a wonderful woman, and she assured me that she had sent someone to help me out a bit. And here you are, straight from her, like an obediant child! You won't be here too long, I just need help with a few things around here since I'm getting older..." and that was about where the dream trailed off, along with a slight sense of wonder. lol Feedback would be nice, as usual. =) Jai ma! -Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Well, Amma is about seva, about service to humanity. Amma's message is to be love and compassion in the world. Even after you help the woman who is needing assistance due to age, there will be others who need assistance. That's the work of being love and compassion in the world. There's no space between you and Amma (or anyone else) when you are being love, the "I" and "you" dissolve. And maybe those Jesus types actually need your assistance; it's true that many of them don't understand this about love, compassion and God. But many Christians do know about Amma, and go to her for darshan when she travels. Here is a quote from The Awakening of Universal Motherhood, a little booklet of Amma's. "Jennifer has no belief in God or in any religion. But she has love and compassion towards the suffering. Is there any need for her to pray to any God? Amma replied: "God is love and compassion towards the suffering. If one has such a heart, there is no need to pray to God." , omshaktipriya@a... wrote: > I had a second dream in the past month of Ammachi last night.
