53. Om sivayai namah: I bow down to Amma who bestows all that is auspicious
Life's a great teacher. It teaches us patience, surrender and peace. It can also take us on the path towards becoming faithless, impatient and stressed.
So which, for us, will be the road not taken?
When ultimate trust is placed in Amma, life's burden's are more than halved. Suddenly the stress of a move overseas seems to reduce dramatically and the worry of the future passes by like a leaf fluttering in the wind. All it needs is Amma's endless love, compassion, grace and selflessness. All it needs is for us to understand and imbibe in us the fact that faith, is everything. Faith is what helps us get up in the morning and look forward to the wonders of a new day. It's what keeps us under the protection of Amma's ever mindful gaze. Being a mother, She watches over us, ensuring we aren't hurt or distressed. She's there for us, always! Let's look back just once at our past. Through all the vicissitudes of life, Amma would have left Her loving mark, carrying us, cajoling us and carefully nurturing our every need. How much we owe this wonderful mother of ours?! For the very fact that She sits for endless hours giving darshan, only to ensure our happiness, is in itself a blessing She's swaddling us with. How truly blessed we are!
Every now and again when a challenge looks us straight in the eye and nudges us into a corner, we so easily forget that Amma will always haul us away from that corner. We give Her time, we lay conditions, we throw spiritual bribes Her way. What a laugh, for we are defining limits to the sky!! If only we could walk away from the limits we have set ourselves and realize that there, just beyond the horizon, Amma's waiting patiently to bestow everything beautiful and auspicious on us. Everything wonderful that's happened in our lives is a touch of Amma's goodness. And with this goodness, She will continue to bestow the best unto us.
For the believers, the golden bridge to Amma, is but a step away.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
