Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dear Amalia, Thanks so much for alerting us to the wonderful article about Amma and Ram playing. I especially liked the concluding remarks of the author: "It's true that Ram came expecting biscuits, and that Mother brought water expecting him to spray. But if, upon seeing no biscuits, Ram had hung his head in dull disappointment, or if, when Ram didn't spray the water, Amma had sulked and retreated to Her room, then think of all the laughter lost! " Mother doesn't tell us not to plan events, nor even not to have expectations. It's not the planning nor the hoping that creates problems for us, but our attachment to those plans and hopes. "Ram and Mother are showing us how to let go of these attachments, how to be in the present moment; how to laugh more." These are words I need to hear at a time when my attachments and expectations are getting out of hand. I have a nice picture of them together which I will post soon. At Her Feet, vaishnavi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
