SOME THOUGHTS ON ATMA---70

[Guest guest]

Sairam Uncle Bala ,

 

Pls ignore those who criticize . You are a divine instrument of

Swami and I strongly believe that He is the source of inspiration

behind your postings. I read all your postings and appreciate them

very much . Pls continue to communicate with us the beauty and

diversity of the Creator .

 

Again , for those who are not interested in reading there's an easy-

to-find delete button.... it's all up to your own discretion.

 

We are nothing without His Strength , Love and Blessings .

 

Sairam ,

Anitha

Dear Sai Brothers & Sisters,

 

I find it extremely difficult to understand why this anonymous person wants this subject on Athma should be stopped. There are lots of repetition of same messages are being sent. Does any one bothers about this? my answer is no! It is up to the individuals to read or delete. What is the point of being a member of these forums that when one does not even have the tolerance to another persons writings. When specifically requested to write on this subject.

 

Trying to belittle or bring down the esteem of one in the eyes of others is the deadly disease that has destroyed many groups, even great movements.

 

My humble request is to stop this bickering and get on with our own spiritual growth and sadhana.

 

With loving Pranams to Swami and to all.

Gayathri

Sai Ram Brother Balasubramaniam,You are doing a wonderful job presenting Swami's messages and all other topics relevant to our spiritual development. Regardless of whatever actions others are taking...pls continue with this God given talent of yours.Everyone has a choice whether to read or delete...so just follow the promptings of your heart and mind that this the right thing to do and not be affected by the minority few who opposed your postings. There will always be detractors....apply equanimity....that's Baba's teaching for such situations.Baba's Blessings Always,Sister MerlynMalaysia

I totally agree with Gayathri. It is up to us to

decide what we want to digest and what to delete. I am sick of this bickering

about what should and shouldn't be allowed. I am sure rs to this web

site are intelligent people who can make their own decisions.
