Politics (was rituals)

[Guest guest]

I have seen this kind of cronyism around Mother and every other saint I

have had the great grace to be around. I have read about it in other

groups. There is the "in" group who get to boss around everyone else,

and often rudely. I have seen the sick and elderly wait and wait and

wait for darshan. It is rather infuriating. I don't know why it

happens, other than that it is human nature, I guess, selfishness, and

an "I've got mine, too bad about you" attitude. It sure brings out my

vasanas. Maybe that's why it happens. As Mother says, we are all like

gems rubbing against each other to wear off the rough edges.

 

Jai Ma!

I guess it depends on what you¹re used to. Having been in the TM movement

for 34 years, the atmosphere around Amma strikes me as being extremely

loving, gentle, kind, considerate, etc. People¹s hearts seem to be much more

open, and their egos much smaller, than in the TM group. Count your

blessings.
