Strong worldly habits aren’t entertained,
Nay the least harms can be retained,
Mother nev’r approves all folly mistakes,
For Love seeks perfection in all actions.
😀
fall in love!!!
I do not know. I do not understand her ways. Maybe that I blocked her grace and the clean aura she gave me by arguing.
Crying and Missing her physically when I know that she is always with me.
Unfortunately not meditating enough,,,
🙁
I fought and argued with my husband. both of us had a huge ego, and I could have backed out. but i didnt. I am sure Amma will never approve my behaviour. this violent way of interacting with people.
I believe Amma has disapproved things based on each Individual’s prarabhdha (The karma that one is born with). Specifically Amma has not disapproved anything verbally. But, Amma has changed me in my actions (and I have wondered how did I come up with such and such…). There were times that my intuition was so clear that I can bet it is the work of Amma.
what is the point of this question? if i told you what i did you would be repulsed!
I don’t know .Keep quiet with big question in my mind and wait for her answer next time.
I have a short temper and when the fuse is blown i do not know what i say. I really regret after that …but i have not been able to get over this highly negative trait. I pray that I see all human beings as Amma and when i abuse someone verbally ..let me remember that I am actually abusing Amma and no one else. And what will be the consequences of abusing our own Amma..I pray to Amma to help me overcome this weakness.
Last thing I did that I don’t think Amma would approve of was to judge myself for not being perfect. Drinking, smoking, sex, attachments, greed, etc etc – all part of her play, it is me who judges, not Amma.
There are so many things. But sometimes we don’t know, Amma just approves things that we think are mistakes and Sometimes she doesn’t Approve things which we think are right.
its all SO confusing.. 🙂
NOBODY IS PERFECT… but i’m happy that i’m at least trying.
And i’m very sure Amma will help all of us to get through. Her compassion has no limit. It’s enough if we try not thinking about result and feel happy and thankful always, i think. We all have limitations and desires,and fall down pretty very often, even though we know what is good and right. But, what matters is our will to move instead of all these obstacles and holding on more tightly than ever to her. This is the way it works.
Amma will help us… An iron strong belief is what is needed!
🙂
1) judging others
2) not doing enough sadhana
The list is quite long….but I dare not go into detail.
Anger, impatience, lack of concentration during prayer. But No. 1 is Anger. For a moment I loose my control. But now a days due to AMMA’s grace life of anger is too short. It last only seconds!! But I am trying to overcome it.
Lying to protect myself and to achieve my worldly ambitions.
Not doing much meditation practice, because I’m too lazy and too easily distracted. But I remember the example of Sudhamani as a child, always devoted to the divine. That inspires me and spurs me on.
Too many to mention.
Being the most imperfect being, not knowing anything, what is right, what is wrong, dancing according to the minds tune and not able to control the mind.
Despite having taken the vow in the begining of 2009, as per a question of this web site, to not disturb my beloved any more, recently, i had done it by sending (SMS) message and giving miss calls in the odd time.. why? It is not my fault. Actually i don’t wish to disturb my beloved. I only wish to hear my beloved’s sound and a feeling of presence. But the beloved is not co-operating. so then what to do?
And also the Sadhana is not going on, the proper way because of some prarabdha, But there is a hope in mind that it is temporary and i can come out of it after a few months.
– not focussing a 100% at work
– letting thoughts crowd my mind instead of chanting my mantra
– wanting my home to be beautified externally for some relatives that i am expecting whilst inwardly wishing they dont turn up coz i cant be bothered to look after people i am not close to after work
– not being able to totally detatch myself from people and situations therefore getting irritated and angry with people coz of my expectations & impatience
The more i think about it Amma is the most Forgiving and Patient Mother in the world. I am just plain lucky and blessed beyond measure to have a Mother who accepts my flaws so patiently. Inspite of being the Embodiment of Perfection who needs nothing Amma has embraced me and puts eternal faith in this imperfect child. Jai Ma!
I don’t know. Only Amma can tell.
I always pray – Amma … all my karmas, actions, thoughts even each breathings should be of Your wish and do surrender them unto Your Holy Feet; I should not / can’t do otherwise. Please guide and don’t leave your son….
Only She can measure how far I am successful. Amma Sharanam.
Also failing to love my girlfriend selflessly. Not thinking of her and what she wants enough, being concerned only with my own needs.
What is to approve or disapprove? Both ideas come from the same coin. As long as there is a need for approval, the mind will always find something to create a problem from. In marriage it’s difficult to surrender to my wife’s wishes. When the wife is right, it hurts Mr.Ego! Thank God for Amma who show’s men the divinity in all women .
KNOW NOTHING
a lot of things. amma says that while praying pray with your whole heart in it. but whenever i pray i just rush through it. another thing is that i always wish to take credit of things i do while amma asks us to do nishkama karma
Lack of awareness. Amma’s constant teaching is to increase our awareness and remember our goal. So the less awareness I have the more She would want me to develop it. This is what I think.
I sat eating dinner being upset with my father for not being patient with me. Thinking about how hypocritical he was.
Of late I have started drinking. Amma would not approve that. Also I am not chanting mantras. I need Amma’s Ashirwad to be back on track. But can anyone of us do anything without Amma’s wish.
Being critical of myself always. Not loving myself enough. It is hard to give love if you don’t have enough for yourself. Also, watching things on television that are not in accordance with her teachings. I do not think that Amma would think I am making the world a better place by polluting my mind.
I cannot love all as AMMA, still ego comes at times.
