Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 In Genesis chapter one, God says that his creation is good and it was because it was all LOVE. Then in second chapter, God says " who told you that you are naked? " It was the mind that created words/labels with which to conceptualize and judge, thus creating knowledge of good and evil. Chapter one was all about LOVE and chapter two is all about LAW( Karma, the golden rule, for every action there is an equal reaction ). As long as we identify with the mind and allow it to be master, we are under LAW/Karma not LOVE. From the cosmic perspective, there is no injustice in the world no matter how horrible something may seem to us because the golden rule is infallible ~ " what we have done to others is what others do to us. " So, it is the mind which creates heaven or hell for each of us and no one other is responsible for each of our lives. Jesus, Amma, Babaji, and so many others give us guidance how to keep our mind sattvic/positive/heavenly. It is up to each one of us to take the advice or not. Organizations are simply a collective of individuals and you as the individual either add to it in a heavenly way or in a hellish way. Furthermore, we are guided, that a sattvic mind is not the ultimate as there is always chance of a fall if we do not know who we truly are; thus our ultimate goal should be to " know who we are. " " Know ye not that your body-mind was meant to be a spiritual temple in which the Spirit-Love of God dwelleth? " When we realize that our true identity is not body-mind but the Spirit-Love-God, we will be Home-Free. Above is my best understanding of studying so many teachers in chronological order( not all are listed here ): Jesus Christ, J. Krishnamurti, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Yogananda, Babaji, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Budha, Amma, Amma's Swamis, Stuart Schwartz, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta, Dada Bhagawan, Mooji, Burt Harding, Amma, Amma, Amma, Amma's devotees in this group, and so many others. One thing I have learned, in my 70 years of life, is that nothing is certain. There are many surprises, some pleasant, some not so pleasant. I have found it in self-interest to do my best not to blame anyone. Whatever happens is all our karma and God's Grace. I was born in 1939 in the midst of world war II in Ukraine at the mercy of the " evil " communists on one side and the " evil " natzis on the other. Well, due to our karma and God's Grace we encountered NOT the typical cruel natzis but young German soldiers away from home who did not mistreat us. My parents gave food and offered shelter to a teenage Jewish boy passing through; he took the food, but went on his way not wanting to endanger a family with young children. Earlier in my mother's life during the man made famine( when millions starved ), my mother was arrested by communists; fortunately, the top police officer told her that he was not a real communist, he actually was there to help people like my mother, to let her go. Taking everything into consideration, how was it possible for my mom, dad, grandmother, and three children to end up in the good old USA? It's all karma and God's Grace. Let us pray: Dear God, karmically, I may not be deserving of Your Grace, but since I have committed myself NOT TO BLAME ANYONE, but try my best to forgive others and myself, what choice do You have, but to forgive me and shower Your grace upon me. Thank you God, I am sorry, please forgive me, I love You. Thank You for Amma. You are my Amma. Jai ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
