The Middle-east brings the worst of these People of the Book who share the same God and prophets. Only Christian Gnostics, Jew Cabbalists and Muslim Sufis amongst them respect all religions -just like ordinary Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs - and that is the difference between self-realized Gnostics, Cabbalists and Sufis and their general religious brethren. i know Amma likes to hug just as Sai Baba enjoys impersonating David Copperfield. It is their distinctive style of attracting seekers and endorsing their trademark. Yes, their disciples are sticking to her because, unlike SYs, they are honest in the belief she is the Adi Shakti and forthright about her mission to save humanity. Even Sai Baba devotees can beat SYs hands down when it comes to proclaiming their guru. In the global race for seekers SYs are way, way behind choking and desperately trying to 'catch' their breath in the thick dust left behind by the stampeding devotees of false gurus, and just have no hope of 'catching' up at the present pace of progress. Yes, the paths are many but there is only one destination of final liberation through the Divine Mother. If Amma can hug you all the way to moksha i am getting envious of this ridiculous easy short-cut. If Satya Sai can trick you with his Rolex watches and diamonds then i may seriously consider joining the other sheepish devotees who follow this BaaBaa. But i would rather take the very difficult and life-long path of participating in the Last Judgment and cleansing myself in mind, body and soul that is said to be as impossible as passing a camel through the eye of a needle.
