If this were true each time we see Her, then we would have less than .0001

percent left after a few darshans. I am suspect of this statement and would

like to know on what authority the individual who allegedly said it did so.

If you start to analyse with your intellect such statements you get

only irritated. Amma is a sort of saint who does much but her talks

are not so elaborate and precise like Krihnamurti, Chinmayaananda,

Osho Rajneesh or the like. I wouldn't bother so much about such

statements. Even if such talk might be superficial nonsense a fact is

that thru Amma a genuine divine current is blessing the people all

the time. I think it is wiser to focus on the blessings rather than

on a few words uttered. Some people want to believe that every word

from Amma is divine nectar.

I personally think this is a romantic eastern concept. If you love

somebody everything they say is music in your ears.

I asked Amma long ago directly: What is the role of the intellect in

your path? Answer: It should be quiet.

 

Certainly such answer doesn't make people happy who want to

understand things. Ammas path is about selfless service, love and

surrender to the Shakti. If you want to experience god or deeper

layers of your consciousness your mind and intellect are a hindrance.

I think many in this forum have had a very personal, tangible

experience that "something" is being taken from them after seeing

Amma. In my own case I don't know how many percent that was. Anyway I

created quickly new stuff!

Have you not experienced an inner realignment or heart centeredness

yourself after seeing Amma?

self-efforts through Meditation. It is for us to realize God."

 

They way I interpreted it, when the swamiji mentioned this in his talk that

evening at the San Ramone center was that Amma takes away the better part of

your karma on the Whole and comparatively you have to suffer through a very

tiny portion of what you would actually have to go through, had it not been

for Amma's grace.

 

Hence the consequences that you face because of your karma are taken on by

Her, and She leaves behind just enough to help you evolve spiritually and

break the cycle at some point in time. So if you consider just the present

and the future, (since what you are going through right now is probably the

result of some past actions) the way you resolve the remaining 10% will go

on to determine how long you have to keep facing the 10% of your actions :-)

I did not really look at it in this way till I read your posting (that it's

a result of physically meeting Her each time), but even then essentially

isn't that what's really happening. Obviously the term *few* is the whole

point of the argument and how you resolve the 10% in-between darshans goes

on to determine how many more of the *few* darshans you will actually need

;-)
