Thoughts

[Guest guest]

Namaste Everyone,

 

 

I thought I would try and finish up my "deep" thoughts from a past email and

see what kind of questions you might be able to answer. First of all I would

like to add that whoever wrote the previous email about "judging" has seem to

somehow raise my consciousness to a new level. I seem more aware of lessons

going on and Amma seems to be sending them on after another, not just simple

everyday "work on the ego" kind of lessons, but very profound lessons. Extremely

profound. I feel like Amma is really within me working inside right now. I feel

a "presence" within me. It all started with that email. I feel like I am being

bombarded with deep spiritual lesson after deep spiritual lesson. So much

contemplating and "awakenings" within. I feel like I have always known most of

what is coming up, that it is some how familiar, but was forgotten. It feels

like it is all coming together in some way. I just hope that I can remember all

of it and put it into daily practice. Thats the true lesson.

 

First question, and one that has been on my mind for many years, is .. Life is

a circle... right...? So if life is a circle...and we all strive to break out

of this circle of life and become one with God... What happens next..? We just

"are" I get that...but do we just "be" for an eternity...or do we become "us"

again eventually...(meaning the human race or maybe another race) I have

learned that the universe contracts and expands, contracts and expands, etc,

etc. etc..... So if we all come back to God eventually (and if we come back

eventually, then why try to become one) and we all have to expand again...are we

going to have to go through "life" again? Are we going to be "born" again... Are

we going to have to "find" God all over again....How many times have we done

this already? I vaguely remember hearing that the best part about life is

longing for God..before you just more or less ignore God, because you don't

really know God is there and perhaps take God for granted...after

becoming Self-realized you already are God... So the best part is discovering

and longing to become one with God. Is this true? I asked Amma this question,

the answer came up that "Amma longs for you to become one with God" So somehow,

I am speculating here, We both long for each other? My point being if ALL life

were Self-realized....then we would not be longing for God and God would not be

longing for us to become God... We would just be... Will we stay this way for

eternity..? Or will God again move out of him/herself to start all over again...

? And if we start all over again..well it be the same as before...will it be the

same people...same time periods... ? Or will it be new people....different time

periods... ? (Am I making anyones head hurt yet..? LOL Besides my own! Yes its

true I analyze dreams well, but I do this in daily life and sometimes it can

become a curse. In fact that is a phrase I hear A LOT..I'm over analyzing too

much. So please forgive me.) What are your

thoughts on this...?

 

Secondly, When I went to see Mother in July (which feels like 10 years ago) I

asked two questions. The first question was (paraphrasing here, I don't remember

my exact words) "How should I meditate to help me merge into the silence?" Her

reply, of course is never straight forward and has a thousand meanings rather

than just one...was to "Find your inner peace." She answered my ACTUAL question

more straight forward through one of her Swami's, which he in turn taught me how

to meditate. But as I am using this method, I feel like I am TRYING to have

inner peace, therefore, not reaching it. I am guessing I should just let it

come? I keep "looking" for it during meditation. And the more I think about her

answer, I have the feeling that she wasn't just talking about meditation, but

she was talking about in life. .my question is...HOW do I find my inner peace?

As I am asking this Amma is answering..."Let the inner peace fine you" So I am

going to hush up now.. (blush) and end this here.

I think I have babbled enough for one email and now you all think I am a mad

woman. (chuckles) ....All my love.

 

At Amma's Lotus Feet,

Robin

This quote was on the MA Center's bulletin from last night. Maybe it will help.

 

"By developing love, understanding and broadmindedness, we can ease the pain of

so many people. Our selflessness will also enable us to enjoy the peace and

bliss that is within us." Amma
