Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Namah Shivaya All, I went to see another guru just to go but not really feeling drawn at all. It was a wasted night for me. I am reminded, too, of a Buddhist Monk who talked with a friend of mine who was already entrenched in one practice with a guru. He was considering joining their practice as well. The monk stated: "it is like travelling down a river with your foot in two different boats. You may get there, but it's much more difficult than staying in one boat." However, bear in mind, I do not know what is best for anyone else. I simply listen to Amma and whatever She says is good enough for me. I realize some follow many different gurus. And it does not matter to me what others need to do or why they are drawn this way. It does not offend me or cause me any disturbance. AMMA is all I need or want. I feel so blessed and graced to have Her in my life. Is this not a miracle? It often feels like this to me. in Amma, love adriane Ammachi, Sweta Mitzel <swetabc wrote: > > Om Namah Shivaya Mike, > > I've received 2 first hand reports of Amma giving instructions not to see other Gurus. Recently, a devotee wrote that Amma brought this up in MI, & was extremely, lucidly clear in what She was saying about it. It's been said that seeing other Gurus, can be likened to being unfaithful in a marriage. Following our Guru's instructions will lead us to liberation, & it's my understanding that merging with the Divine Mother is our reason for our human births. Sticking to one Guru seems to be one of Amma's easier instructions to follow. At least it's easier for me to do that than it is to always chant my mantra, see God in everyone, stay in the moment, be consistent with sadhana, etc ... > > Our Guru will test us. I pray that we pass Her tests, are showered with Amma's Grace & with what I imagine are limitless gifts & blessings from an infinite God(ess). The worth of the opportunities Amma offers to us are probably beyond our comprehension. > > Amma's been very patient with me. And, becoming commited to Amma has been a big step, as I fled, sabatoged & avoided commited relationships. Through Her Grace, I've found the one true love that I've sought all of my life This is a big deal. After understanding that Amma wants us to stick with Her only, I feel violated by encouragement that it's OK to see other Gurus. Maybe I feel as I would if someone encouraged me to date outside of a serious, fulfilling, commited relationship. > > Since this is Amma's , I feel it's important to give clarification on Her words, and maybe even encouragement to sincere devotees, regarding Amma's teachings. > > Thank you for this forum. > > Sweta > > > Mike Brooker <patria1818 wrote: > > > > "has Amma ever told any devotees not to see other > teachers/gurus/divine mother avatars?
