AMARNATH WROTE:

MY RESPONSE:

Dear Amarnath ~ I did not know there is also a video. I will have to get it

for our satsang group. : )

 

AMARNATH WROTE:

>> But, the main thing is, imho, is to keep it simple.

>> And "simple" is different for different people.

 

 

MY RESPONSE:

Very good reminder...thank you.

 

 

AMARNATH WROTE:

MY RESPONSE:

Also, a very good point. It is easy to get in a rut and do things

mechanically, and when that happens, at least for me, I feel my heart and spirit

get

left behind a bit, which is exactly what we don't want.

MY RESPONSE:

My thanks to Temba also ... I always feel like a beginner. : ) Sometimes

I feel I am "racing along the razor's edge" trying to catch up. I see now

that it is okay to be in a different place from others, and perhaps feeling

that

"I Am Amma's Baby" (the title of one of the videos) is actually a good thing.

 

Again, my sincere thanks to you for sharing your views on this, Amarnath.

P.S. Dear group, please bear with me. I am experimenting with new ways of

showing the original text and my response. I have noticed that sometimes, all

the blank lines separation are somehow deleted, which then makes it look like

one huge bunch of type, and, as a writer, I know there is nothing more deadly.
