Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Dear Devi Bhakta, Tantra teaches that every phenomena is perfect, exactly the way it is, even the state of being of the would-be " receivers " . Divine Will operates uninterruptedly even in them, it can't be otherwise as Divine Will operates from a standpoint of Unity in all things. All we need to do is abide in and manifest our primordial nature, then what seems as a paradoxe ultimately plays a role in everyone's deliverance. For this to occur deep sincerity and humbleness are of paramount importance. A master once said: " Father, I thank you, that you have kept these things secret from the so called learned and wise, and have revealed it unto the humble.

Veggie pizza for sale!') and both Westerners and Indians simply REFUSED to turn off their cell phones ('Oh, hi, I'm taking darshan from Ammachi of Kerala. You know, the Guru who hugs people. Wazzup? No, she's not in her cool Devi Bhava robes yet, she's wearing those drab, white renunciate clothes.') ... He was disgusted. I was depressed. " Again none of this speaks well or ill of Ammachi -- only of the would-be " receivers " of her wisdom and grace.
