193. Om dusta-durayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is distant from those who are wicked
This is the message I was looking for! Many a times I have grappled with people's actions and wondered whether such people can ever have the umbrella of divine grace over their heads. What is it that makes people spread so much wickedness around? Is it their karma or ours? Theirs in spreading it or ours in receiving it? Being the recipient of vileness can be painful and soul destroying. It makes one question beliefs and spirituality as a whole. Thus when I read this mantra, I know that people who do wicked things to others, are not anywhere close to Amma. They cannot feel Her grace. They are walking under their own self created negative storm filled sky. Anyone who can even have one evil thought that can destroy another's soul, cannot be anywhere near Amma. They may be physically in Her proximity but they can never, ever be spiritually close to Amma.
Amma's goodness is so pure and so beautiful, it is like the laugh of an innocent baby. There is no space for evil in it. Her love for us is from Her heart. She will always think only for our good. She will change our ways with the strength of Her love. But for those whose karma it is to stay wicked, Amma will never grace them with Her presence. She knows the pain such thoughts and actions can cause to the rest of the world. She has seen what sorrow can do to a soul. She has felt our pain as we have cried out at the injustice of it all. She has heard us sobbing into silent pillows, under the whip of another's wickedness. And She cares too much to ever let us be affected. After all, She is our beloved Mother!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
