Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 OM NAMAH SIVAYA i am appreciative of your words. i would include in this list of worthwhile attributes you and DB are putting together here; Faith, Devotion, Love, which is maybe what you mean by spiritual sincerity. it seems whether talking of Ammachi or lineages their effectiveness is directly proportional to our Faith and Love in them. that is what gives them their power. without Faith and Love for Ammachi She may be no different than anyone else to you. without Faith and Love for the Lineage it may be no more than a college fraternity, a club. but i think it is crucial that in establishing and reinforcing our own Faith we don't fall into the trap of trying to do that at the expense of someone else's Faith. a trap because to destroy someone else's Faith does not insure enhancing our own Faith or chosen Path, and may in fact weaken it. to me the Saints of all different paths prove that Faith is what brings us to Truth. the rest is simply form and format.
