Amarnath (Amma's Comment on Cartoon)

[Guest guest]

Namaste Kalika,

 

I simply tried to say that our experiences are different and our

interpretations are also different. I do not mean that my truth is

better that your truth ~ it is just different. Our truths will be

different( relative to our situation ) until we realize the one Big

Truth( our Oneness with God and each other ).

 

There are plenty of challenges and difficulties in my life also ~ i

try to discuss these with Amma privately( that is, in my mind and

heart ). Some of our( my partner and mine ) problems seem

insurmountable. They drive us to tears, prayer, talking to Mother(

Amma ), sessions with a friend, 1000 names, other spiritual

practices, contemplating Amma's Teachings, etc.

 

Amma does not make it easy, but is always there for us if we hang on.

 

Amma's Blessings,

amarnath
