Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Om Namah Shivayah, Robinji!! I remember very well when you came to the list, Robinji. It was a little bit after I joined, I think. You were very sweet and sincere and innocent in your curiosity about Amma. I remember that you were going through a lot with your kids and ex. It has been very sweet getting to know you through your questions, comments and insights. You weren't always the most informed about Amma (neither were any of us at the beginning, and I don't think we know much about Her now, either!), but you have ALWAYS had great intentions and lots of compassion. The goodness in you is easy to spot and it's a testament to Ma's grace that you continue to become more and more true to your real nature. I see you reaching out to your siblings here in the same way that you were touched back then, so know that the same love and light you were blessed with at that time is shining in you and your words and actions and attitude and willingness to grow. Looking through the archives, you have observed your own progress on the spiritual path (I'm a little scared to do the same, was pompous clown with giant crashing cymbals at that time!!LOL), and I thank our Mother for swooping you up in Her arms (literally!). In response to your other post, "Thoughts"; I have two points to submit for pondering. 1) Re: your first question of life as circle, what happens next, ect. I keep coming back to this one myself, as I have heard/read so many theories myself I am utterly confused. Yogananda's Guruji, Sri Yukteswar reports many wonderous things from the other side of physical death post-moksha. I have heard that realized beings get to chose to come back to serve mankind, or to do other work in other lokas, and that some may elect to merge forever into the Divine Consciousness. Personally, I've come to believe (although I may change this opinion) that what happens then is not for us to worry about now, as thinking about the future is a big distraction from the present. 2) When Amma answered your question with "Amma longs for you to become one with God"..... WOW!! Doesn't that just say so much about it? In the whole universe there are only the lover and the Beloved, both longing for eachother. I think that God longs for us to wake up and realize that you are THAT and THAT is you. Amma LONGS for you to become one with HER, to realize that you and Her are the same. That is why She bows to Her children. I don't think that all life could be self-realized at one time, given the nature of the universe (constant creation/destruction). Remember, everytime Brahma blinks a universe is created and destroyed, it is much bigger than our tiny intellects can grasp, so why think? We'll never understand. It is explained in all the world's scriptures, yet for all our scholarly research, the truth is staring at us and we still can't see! LOL... BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD Krishna unveils all the glory of heaven in the Gita, and still we can't see. "Praised on all sides by the four vedas incarnate, It (Devi) blazed like ten million suns, yet soothed like ten million moons. Flashing like ten million streaks of lightning tinged with red, that supreme lusterous power shone forth unencompassed above, across and in the middle. Without beginning or end, it had no body, no hands, no other limbs, nor did it have a woman's form, a man's form, nor the two combined. The dazzling brilliance blinded the eyes of the gods, O King." -The Devi Gita And She is here for us to see and touch and smell and hold, and still we go on asking "where is it, what is it, when will it come, how do I get there faster, what should I do, who am I, how can I know You?" Silly us. We are so BLESSED to have Amma. Finally, She answered you (from within) "Let the inner peace find you." So maybe it's like waiting for a package from Mothersbooks.... Feels like it will never come, but is definately on the way! love and hugs, Prajna ===== sarvabhauma_yoga/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
