Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Om Namah Shivaya Dear List Members, if any of you happen to meet Swamiji Ramakrishnananda in the coming days, can you please convey to him the following message from Sara in Iceland: Vani (my fellow devotee in Iceland) and I have now both read his new book The Blessed Life , and we have found it a wonderfully inspiring book with many beautiful small stories about Amma . Also, we are very grateful for how much Swamiji shared of his own personal stuggles, in the book. It is very helpful to us on our own spiritual paths. It my personal opinion it is the best book he has written, and I can only hope that he soon writes another one. Another quote from the book The Blessed Life - page 254 : Amma said, " Grace is always falling like rain. We just have to become open to receive it." ...... " Amma tells us that each one of us has a subtle aura, and in this aura is recorded a subtle impression of every one of our thoughts, words and actions. In a person who thinks only pure thoughts, speaks only good words, and performs only good actions, the aura will be golden in color and extremely receptive to grace. Whereas, in a person whose mind is full of negative thoughts, such as judgmental, venegeful, jealous or lustful thoughts, who is sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, and whose actions benefit only himself or herself, the aura will be dark and clouded--thus, the light of grace will not be able to pass through. It is the impressions left by this person's own actions that block the flow of grace from reaching him or her." ================================================================= In Amma's Love, sara - Iceland ..
