Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Thank you, Nirmala for the 3 qualities you mentioned (by the way, Kshama also translates as patience, which gives it even more meaning.) And thanks, Jyotsna, for your piece of the puzzle I'm trying to put together... these are the main parts that I remember. Still hoping for the other pieces! Blessings, Achintya <<<Message: 9 Sat, 24 Jan 2004 20:47:18 -0800 (PST) "E. Lamb" <jyotsna2 Qualities of a Disciple (Nov. 28, 2003) November 28, 2003 San Ramon The Vedas say seekers must have certain qualities from the master: Shravana--listening Sruti--Sat Guru's words Mananam(?)--contemplation intellectual conviction Ruti--logic complete cooperation with master Intellectual conviction gives us strong resolve. Listen to Amma's words--allow them to seep deep into our hearts. (Sruti--words of eternal truth.) Strong resolve leads to practice. Practice leads to experience. Sorrow can not be eliminated by becoming worldly. The secret of happiness is non-attachment.>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
