Nice story about Amma. Also, biting a lemon is not so granted as biting an apple.
i do not understand mccoy.
if u mean that biting into a lemon is not quite the same and preferred as an apple. i would concur. i think the point here is that a Master is beyond conventional likes and dislikes of unenlightened beings. She seemed to be O.K. with taking my bitterness if that is what i offered her as my 'love offering'. At times in our lives we become aware of how much negativity and difficult karma we have to offer at the feet of the divine.... and it may surprise us to see some of it taken by a Master on our behalf.
Mccoy it my interest u that most of the offerings r fruit. Usually Amma takes them and gives them to the staff behind or beside her. Rarely does she eat or bite into them.
