Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Om Namah Shivaya: One of my aspirations is to become detached from the Guru's form. Mature aspirants see the Guru as infinite light i.e. formless. Guess what? I am feeling very sad today. As I write this Amma is headed toward the Asian continent. Do some of you feel better when She is walking on North American soil? Is it dis-comforting when Amma goes back to native India? I know Amma dwells in my heart. Nevertheless the inner child wants Her on my land, on my soil. This is just on the feeling level. Immature? Yes very. It is hoped that I outgrow this.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Namah shivaya No George you are not immature ... attachment to the Guru is essential and vital on the spiritual path ... didnt the gopis cry for Krishna? were they immature? let us first become detached from the world and our ego- then we can worry about detachment from the Guru's form.. thats the one attachment that takes us beyond all attachments... bala GeorgeSon <leokomor wrote: Om Namah Shivaya: One of my aspirations is to become detached from the Guru's form.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Namah Shivayah I miss Amma like crazy unless I am physically WITH her. At the end of DB during Amma Amma Taye, I usually cry like a BABY! I weep. Sometimes I feel silly, crying so hard for Amma, and I know she is always with me and in my heart, but goodness me -- I MISS HER! I guess I can understand why kids cry when their moms leave them with a babysitter. The kid may know mom is coming back, and mom reassures the kid that it's all okay, but when Mom leaves it is a scary thing. We're not sure who is going to take care of us, if Ma is not RIGHT THERE because goodness knows I can barely take care of myself. I, of course, do not know from personal experience but it surely seems like if we detach from the ego and the senses, all that is left is AMMA.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Om Namah Shivayah, I made a similar post the other day, and now that I know Mother's physical form is no longer in the US, I am having major separation anxiety. I too sobbed like a baby when she exited the hall headed for Canada. Amma has said that to cry out for God or Guru is one of the most powerful things one can do, and she has even suggested encouraging tears to come when they will not. I seem to have no problem with this lately It is pure heartbreak and I really have felt that my heart has been breaking slowly ever since she left. We are attached to the physical form, and that is a hard thing to cast off....but I cannot think of anything else in this world I would rather have my heart break for than Amma. Sometimes I have to stop and think, "How lucky I am that it is Amma who is the cause of my heartbreak." It is a pain so deep that it can come full circle and turn itself into joy...which is what we should all hope for. Let's not forget that she will be back in the US in November. That is really only less than 4 months away. Jai Ma!! Ananathasree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Dear Ones, I did not know that Amma was planning to return to US in November. Does anyone know which cities she will be visiting? Oh, Mother, to see you again so soon. My heart is smiling.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 It is strange, but the times that I really sobbed for Her was when she was about to enter the room for the first time in Marin and other times when I was in Her Presence. I don't sob when She leaves. I feel at peace.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Namah Shivayah The first time I was with Amma, I CRIED and CRIED for hours. When she was coming into the room, during pada puja, tears flowed down my face. I usually cry quite a bit when I'm with her, watching her give darshan. It touches something deep in my soul to see her there, loving each person who comes to her, listening to what each of them has to say and taking on their burdens. I think it's some sort of release or cleansing...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Dear Children: On the flight to NYC I prayed to Amma that I will cry during Her NorthEast swing. Amma granted the request. I cried many times. More than usual. Forgive me but I am over 50 and a bit old school. The paradigm is older men do not cry in public. That was futile. Every time I thought I was one day closer to not seeing Her til November I got moist in the orbs. For some reason, I cry more on the morning of Devi Bhava day (the final morning of the Retreat) than during Devi Bhava. BTW It is a fine feeling.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Namah Shivaya. Just got back from Toronto Programs. Amma wore a very unusual sari for Devi Bhava. Green with a plum border and lots of gold. Someone who knows more of these things said it looked like a temple sari. On Wed. at the end of the morning program Amma danced for us. Words cannot describe the gratitude we felt for this. Swamiji told the story of the gopis and how they wept when their Lord left. A teacher told them (someone more knowledgeable can say the name) they shouldn¹t be attached to the form. So they were questioning themselves. Then the Lord told them the bond to the guru is the bond that breaks all other bonds. Something like that. Those who know more can tell the story in better detail. She is with us always and everywhere. And we adore Her precious form. So why not weep with one eye and rejoice for Her grace with the other?
