Let's move on

[Guest guest]

Amma and the Swamis teach that we should try to accept everything as Guru

prasad. That everything that comes our way is a gift from God. If it triggers

pain or misery than it is a gift that can help us release that which

separates us from God. This is how I try to see things, I admit sometimes

it's hard. Maybe this could be a new theme here on our list. Here are a

couple of Amma's quotes that I find helpful:

 

"It should be understood that external situations don't have the power to

hurt you. It is only when the mind interprets those situations that the pain

bubbles up from within. A situation becomes a problem when you interpret it

in the wrong way. The aim is to not let the mind interpret or comment on

external situations. This is possible only when you learn the art of

witnessing."

Ammachi

"...You will find that the cause of your anger is not the other person but

within you. It tis not the other person that causes it. but your past. The

past is your reference book. Anger is within you. Someone accidentally

touches the anger in you and you erupt."

Dear brothers and sisters:

 

Let's move on and away from discussion about Sai Baba.It

was nice to see Peter White asking for an end to it.It came

to me as I had just sat down with the idea of

unsubscribing.

For a few days my mind got so messed up that I finally sat

down in front of Amma's picture and actually DEMANDED that

she put an end to this misery. She did. And very quickly.

The deep feeling of hurt and misery were gone. The

reminders continued however, as more postings kept coming.

Peter once said that he started this List with Amma's

blessing. Let's remember that and move on please.
