Amma, the only constant!

78. Om maha ganesa nirbhinna vighna yantra praharsitayai namah: I bow down to Amma who rejoices when Ganesha shatters all obstacles



It would be the perfect occasion for Amma to rejoice. Because the Lord of beginnings has removed all obstacles in the path of Her children. When all hurdles are removed, we can move ahead unhindered and chase our many dreams. Many a times, our goals seem unachievable. Suddenly it seems like someone moved it a few notches higher, further, farther. And a shroud of impossibility cloaks it. I try to look at it but the sun's intense rays are shining right into my eyes. And unfortunately I can't even say I'm looking straight into my bright future! But I'm Amma's child. She will never let me walk away disheartened or defeated. She will pick me up from any depths and haul me onto the horizon. She will ensure that Ganesha shatters all the obstacles on my path. I don't have the spiritual verve to work through these obstacles which, unfortunately, are part of my karma. But Amma will remove them for me. For us. And that's how we move from strength to strength.

Nothing Amma does should ever be taken for granted. In a world where our next breath isn't a guarantee, how can we possibly think a step ahead is? The past is a blur. The present is an illusion of sorts. The future was never in our hands anyway. Amma is the only certainty. She's the ultimate and only truth that pervades every sense. She's the only lifeline we have, going forward. In an ever changing world, where even the breeze can change course in a fickle moment, Amma is the only constant. She lives so that we may have better lives. She works tirelessly so that we may live in peace, with others and ourselves.

Thank you Amma for just being. For having an aura so tremendous that it can even outshine the sun. For breaking all barriers that stand in the way of Your children. We love you.

Om Amriteswariye namah!
