You are supposed to be giving her your singlepointed devotion every second of the day. The reason why you know so little despite your &amp;quot;long association&amp;quot; is because you have never given her a single penny and she has never let you close to her. Perhaps if you were a Dutch multi millionaire you would be more privy to the inner workings of her empire! You asked how long I sat by the Gate: I would never be so stupid to go and sit there myself - I know that the Guru is within. And about Saradamma&amp;#39;s &amp;quot;land buying business,&amp;quot; an enlightened being would never be concerned about building houses or who her next door neighbour is. Please also note: Amma herself refers to the compound and the land around it as &amp;quot;her ashram.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly if your precious Amma says desire is the root of all evil, perhaps you should ask her why she went to see Annamalai Swami for &amp;quot;special advice&amp;quot; in the 90s. Maybe you should ask some of the older Indian devotees about Saradamma&amp;#39;s dark secret?!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/5569732355652842445/comments/default/3195281449317111905'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/5569732355652842445/comments/default/3195281449317111905'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ramana.guru/2011/11/trouble-at-nunnery.html?showComment=1362925526878#c3195281449317111905' title=''/><author><name>Chi-Ting Master</name><uri>https://www.blogger.com/profile/13888421252904281860</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUtApHgo4eYtN1w00fGm6deLmCDw9w5PSdZ2rcpYp8Eo0MwVIaz24PWi9ip5cncwVkpO_Am1bdmK4T9r9ZDVnx_eJ1XIE9A00IGUnOjXUhMaI9JDOKwXischPn-jgpeQ/s1600/*'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://ramana.guru/2011/11/trouble-at-nunnery.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038378606356803239.post-5569732355652842445' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/posts/default/5569732355652842445' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1931966395"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="March 10, 2013 at 2:25 PM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038378606356803239.post-8355358643837805873</id><published>2013-03-10T12:01:40.342+00:00</published><updated>2013-03-10T12:01:40.342+00:00</updated><title type='text'>S: Then there is her land buying business, she let...</title><content type='html'>S: Then there is her land buying business, she lets rich devotees buy up the land around the ashram, in the ashram’s name off course. So she has become the spider queen, lurking in the center of her web, feeding on her victims till they die and than she gets rid of their wretched ghosts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R: This is again incorrect. To ensure good spiritual seekers buy land near her house(ofcourse ones who are affordable types) so that her spiritual vibrations are being received by earnest ones and to avoid the land being used by non spiritual ones, she has advised so. also this acts as an investment for the devotee buying the land and its registered in devotees name and not in Amma&amp;#39;s name. Also note, i have seen one or two cases of Amma giving room free of cost to devotees who are cant afford. Amma herself comes from a family which is wealthy enough to survive Amma and some of her devotees. she doesnt need devotees money for this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover the ashram you meant is not ashram but a house belonging to her constructed in the land purchased by her father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: Saradama is just a poor wretched, psychotic woman with a huge father complex, labelling sex as dirty and an obstacle to realization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R: So instead of wasting time in writing wrong things and passing wrong info, get some good attitude by going around Arunachala daily. You seem to be a drug addict to me and writing whatever comes to your mind. pl grow and my prayers to arunachala for your growth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some may think i am being more personal towards sis here, but left with no other option. this is my nature and this is how i respond and nothing to do with me being a devotee of Amma. some other devotee might have handled this situation in a different and more decent way, but i handle things in this way. this is my way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing, Amma generally says desire is the root of all evil, so she asks us to avoid any kind of desire for tasty food, sex, vehicles, clothes, power, money etc.,  I dont know why this topic is only about sex and not about her teachings on completely putting a fullstop to all kinds of desires by surrendering or self enquiry. may be since your minds are full of sex, you are unable to accept the teaching and give importanct to this one aspect of her teaching and less focus on her other aspects like complete avoidance of desires thru surrender and enquiry, karma yoga. Only by practise and control (not by supression or indulging in desire) can mind become more steady and fit for spiritual practise and enlightment. If any guru says otherwise, ask him if he hasnt done any practise in this or previous lives and the response will be &amp;quot;YES I HAVE PRACTISED in MANY LIVES&amp;quot; to reach this stage. Ignorance can be lost only thru practise and once lost, its complete identification with SELF and no body, no mind, YOU are the SELF. (I AM that I AM).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;rgds.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/5569732355652842445/comments/default/8355358643837805873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/5569732355652842445/comments/default/8355358643837805873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ramana.guru/2011/11/trouble-at-nunnery.html?showComment=1362916900342#c8355358643837805873' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://ramana.guru/2011/11/trouble-at-nunnery.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038378606356803239.post-5569732355652842445' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/posts/default/5569732355652842445' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1129952440"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="March 10, 2013 at 12:01 PM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038378606356803239.post-1637442286748072219</id><published>2013-03-10T12:01:22.039+00:00</published><updated>2013-03-10T12:01:22.039+00:00</updated><title type='text'>Sis klaus (or loose or nuts or whatever) your know...</title><content type='html'>Sis klaus (or loose or nuts or whatever) your knowledge about what is happening arnd saradamma&amp;#39;s house is very very limited. you seem to be a fool completely lost in your world. and So is the Chi Ting Master.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to answer to some of your statements made,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sister (S): The Gate is a place one should avoid under all circumstances. Once you enter that street and approach that wretched place of despair, you are under the influence of Saradamma’s black magic. She will scan you on your vulnerability and your wallet and then decides whether to pull you in or feed you to her dogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Response (R): I for one have never paid a single penny to her and had a long association with her. so your wallet story comes from your limited knowledge and may be jealous of Guru or for self attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;S: If you are accepted you are allowed to sit at the Gate for an hour a day to test how stupid you are. If you are stupid enough you may sit longer until you spend your whole useless life dwelling at that wretched place. All in the vain hope of catching a glimpse of her Holiness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;R: How long did you sit at the gate? may be you sat very long and didnt improve a bit on spirituality. may be you were a charcoal and will need some time to mature. I have become more devotional with bhakti, joy after constant association. i have sat for 1 or 2 hrs and even more hrs, some days and have benefitted a lot. And when my mind became more fit, i was given constant darshans. Its the old school style of making mind a bit pure and ready and then allow more grace to flow to devotee, else the devotee may waste the energy given thru impure means. Its pure Godly love you can feel thru your entire body. If your love is so strong, she immediately responds to it. she knows about it and loads us with further more love (grace or spiritual energy). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/5569732355652842445/comments/default/1637442286748072219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/5569732355652842445/comments/default/1637442286748072219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://ramana.guru/2011/11/trouble-at-nunnery.html?showComment=1362916882039#c1637442286748072219' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://ramana.guru/2011/11/trouble-at-nunnery.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038378606356803239.post-5569732355652842445' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3038378606356803239/posts/default/5569732355652842445' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1129952440"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="March 10, 2013 at 12:01 PM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038378606356803239.post-492647362213649485</id><published>2012-10-08T14:19:06.648+01:00</published><updated>2012-10-08T14:19:06.648+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Santosha writes in her pathetic, dross-filled Me M...</title><content type='html'>Santosha writes in her pathetic, dross-filled Me Me Me book: &amp;quot;In my friendship with Sarada, I was saddened to see that her life of teaching was filled with physical suffering, great emotional frustration and sadness. She often expressed to me her reluctance to stay in the body because those she served lacked any ongoing spiritual maturing and were unable to perceive how their lack of maturity affected her. This was also true of me. Yet I was determined that I must be allowed to live fully, brightly, uninhibited by the immaturity of those around me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only does Santosha do everything she can in her book to establish a spiritual link with Saradamma which quite obviously doesn&amp;#39;t exist beyond a banal &amp;quot;personal friendship&amp;quot; - but she even tries to make out she is more advanced than Saradamma. Yet wasn&amp;#39;t it rather significant that Swamy showed zero interest in Santosha&amp;#39;s request to be accepted as his daughter and gave her almost none of his time. Then there is Saradamma herself.

Any method - including &amp;quot;sublimation&amp;quot; - is all part of the MAYA. A method does not truly result in enlightenment; there is not truly any liberation; nor is there truly anyone there doing such a method. This is just the way it SEEMS from the perspective of EGO. If a seeker sublimating their sexual impulse happens, this is the spontaneous play of maya: a mere appearance totally devoid of significance and a beautiful illusory dance. But the seeker and the false teacher fall in love with the illusion and then start to believe in it: that there is actually someone there, that there is actually enlightenment, and that that someone can choose to do something to make that enlightenment happen. Even this, ALL OF IT, is a glamour and a fairy tale, simultaneously real and unreal.
