Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Om Namah Shivaya, Thank you, Omana, for bringing Amma's words into this discussion. As always, I am reminded of the simple elegance of Her teachings. Funny that something so simple is so difficult for me to DO . . . Ego ego ego! For me major tapas are required!

I opened Awaken Children IX and what should Amma tell me... "The disciple's humility-his attitude of being an absolute beginner, and his acceptance and awarenenss of his ignorance-makes him open and receptive to true knowledge, which the master then pours into him. Humility is the gateway to real discipleship, and the master will himself set a perfect example of humility." Amma My prayer (strictly for myself but offered here to my brothers and sisters)...My beloved Amma, help me to always approach life with the humble certainty of my ignorance. Help me to be receptive to Your grace from which true understanding will follow. May we all respect each other and approach each other from a place of love and compassion as our Divine Mother instructs us to. Jai Ma! Omana Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Sri Mata to the rescue! And here's the quote for the day on amma.org: "Love consumes in its flames all preconceived ideas, prejudices and judgments, all those things, which stem from the ego." ~ Amma Jai Ma!
