and other gurus

[Guest guest]

Thanks Amarnath,

 

Where did this dialog come from? It is deep and

gentle. It is an interesting paradox that we learn

that the Guru is not the form, (beyond limitation) but

that we are to focus on Her (form) to become Her.

 

Even if your Guru has passed you can use this

exercise.

 

Another thought came to me during this discussion. In

Swamini's book Sacred Journey, she says that Amma

requested that those closest to her,

(physically)choose a different form of God to use in

meditation, she chose Lord Krishna in this case. So

even with Amma's disciples they are worshipping more

than one form of God.
