164. Om nir-mamayai namah: I bow down to Amma who has no self interest in anything
She sits for hours on end ensuring every one of Her children gets Her famous healing hugs. She has sacrificed every worldly pleasure to make sure we, Her children, have better lives. She can go without sleep, without food, without rest just so that we are more rested and relaxed. Amma. In essence, a Mother in every way. She hasn't physically given birth to us but She is what a Mother is all about. Caring, loving. And having no self interest whatsoever.
2013 was a harsh year with harsh lessons. But the one positive lesson it taught me is that Amma is truly my only hope. I had walked off the spiritual path but She brought me back on it. She taught me that however harsh the lesson, She will always be there to keep the flickering flames alive even in the wildest of storms. She will stand in the way of our karma and bear the onslaught, just so we lead more protected lives. I hope 2014 will be a more forgiving year. A year more gentle on me. A year where I will not leave Your thought ever.
May this year also teach us to be as selfless as possible. In the vein of Your teaching, please let us all learn to do one good deed for at least one person, every day of the year. Imagine lighting up one person's life every day. 365 ways to better our own lives through the smiles of others.
Thank you Amma for everything. Thank you for the very grace of having us under Your umbrella. Please keep us totally in Your shadow this year so that we only do what You would approve off. The best way to increase our selflessness and make the world a happier place. Lokah Samastaha Sukhino Bhavantu.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
