Fw: Reply to Balaji / tom's real concern

[Guest guest]

Amarnathji wrote me the letter below. I thought it addressed some good points and that my response to him also affirmed relevant opinion on the subject. Based on that, I decided it might be a good idea to post it here. The main point is that as so many have stated, this is a satsang...so we should treat it as such. We should deal with this situation just as we would if it came up in a satsang in person. This is at least, my point of view.

 

Jai Maa!

I think diversity is best. People should react how they like. It would be

no different in a live satsang. If someone like Tom would say the things he

is saying, he would get similiar types of responses. They would be mixed

and varying points of view as posted here in our forum. But I think the

majority message is absolutely clear.

 

Jai Maa!

PS I would like to forward your whole letter as well as my response to the

group. I wanted to ask your permission first out of courtesy. You can post

it instead if you like. I think it would be of relevant benefit.

Namaste Surya,

 

Just wanted to let you know that some time ago I emailed Dayamritaji

basically to ask his advice whether I should post on Ammachi Free

Speech my feelings that Tom was deluded in thinking he was

spiritually advanced because of some kundalini experiences;

I also mentioned his condescending remarks to others and swamis in

general;

 

I did not mention specifically Tom's remarks about Dayamritaji.

 

Dayamritaji's first answer was that I can do as I please on Free

Speech since he didn't know anything about this forum.

 

But, I was not happy with that; wanted his advice; so my next email

I asked what about our Ammachi which supposedly Amma

said is a Satsang group? Tom is also posting derogatory remarks

about others here.

 

Then his reply was: If Tom is deluded, best to keep QUIET and other

members will see that; also he said he would tell Amma since I asked

him to do so.

 

That's one of the reasons, I'm doing my best to keep low key on this

and it does seem true that Tom's delusion is becoming more visible

to others.

 

So, my feelings now are mixed; I can see some benefit of having some

challenging posts here; and over the course of time am learning not

to react so quickly, etc; on the other hand, there are so many other

approaches that members have expressed; perhaps the thing is that

all of these approaches are fine; perhaps the acceptance of the

diversity is what is important; not one way for all of us.

 

I do favor Balaji bringing this up to Amma, not to get rid of Tom,

but I feel Amma is the only one who knows what is going on and can

help him most and guide us; perhaps Amma is already doing that?

 

I appreciate your posts. Thanks for taking the time, etc.

Oh, I already mentioned to Tom that he should communicate directly

with D, but?

 

Amma Bless,

amarnath
