On the road to winning Amma!

188. Om durlabhayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is won only with much difficulty


You truly are not easily attained. One has to do much tapasya to achieve Amma. We can each of us recognize this feeling. How many times have we cried out for Her? Amma naturally reaches out to children because in their innocence, love flows more freely and they can reach Amma much easier. As adults, we are wrapped in ego. We find it difficult to shed this ego and reach Amma. And so, our tears are larger and laced with more pain. We have more lessons to learn before we reach Amma. As adults, to win Amma, we have to undergone the painful surgery of removing ego from our minds and vices from our hearts. We need to cleanse ourselves and be as pure as possible. It's a constant tapasya. And then somewhere in that journey, a sort of spiritual catharsis takes place. Once Amma sees us bereft of negativities, She will be there with us. Each time we cry for Amma, our cleansing is occurring. Through the flow of these tears will be shed every drop of hatred, jealousy and anger. Then will our hearts be purified enough to receive Amma.

Besides, we never value that which we get too easily anyway. And Amma is priceless.

Om Amriteswariye namah!
