Remote darshan?

August 13, 2003

Hi Khalid,

I think Amma has definitely chosen you, and there must be something

reciprocal that keeps you close.. you are no guest in Mother's house!! She loves

&

serves nondenominationally, and when you love in return, reflecting that

beautiful

light of your own divine self back to it's Source, you are indeed part of the

family of devotees. The closer we are to God, the more the various traditions

become moot, and I'm not slamming dogmas, they are worthy vessels to take us

to the Shore, I'm just saying that the various traditions are like candy

wrappers. My friend Marc is an Orthodox Lubbavitcher Jew and even though his

teacher is a rabbi, he catches Ma on Her tours. My best friend practices

santeria

and relates to Amma as emanating the Orishas (Gods) Yemaja or Oya.. Devi Bhava

is much like a Haitian vodun ceremony where the priestess is "possesed" by

Ezilie or other manifestations of Devi. It's all good, and it's nice to rub

shoulders with EVERYBODY. I believe Amma is all God Realized teachers and all

GRTeachers are Amma, we're all following on the different Rainbow colors that

blessed our eyes one day, and leading to the pot of Gold.

This was all the "too much caffeine" way to say you're a brother, not a guest

and I'm glad you're here. Are you Sufi? got some rhymes?

"I sloughed off my self as a snake sloughs off its skin. Then I looked and

saw that I AM HE"

"I went from God to God, until they cried from me in me, "Oh Thou I !""
