168. Om nis-krodhayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is without anger
It's one of Amma's teachings: anger is like a double edged swords. It hurts the person carrying it and the person it is used against.
Amma never loses Her equanimity. Thousands come to Her everyday with enormous problems - problems that would weigh us down and have us severely agitated. But Amma listens to each of us, feels the pain and solves it with Her love and resolve. She doesn't get flooded under the weight of all those negative emotions we unburden at Her feet. She in fact takes it from us willingly. And there is no anger ever at the long hours She has to sit to embrace us with Her love. There is no anger at the fact that She barely eats or drinks. Or that each of us, each one of us, demands Her time, Her attention, Her advice, Her hugs. We stand in front of Her and tell Her each and every detail and expect an answer, a solution. And Amma gives it, with no rancour. The only emotion She ever shows, is LOVE. She has stopped emotional deluges with that, She has stemmed hatred, jealousy, fear. She has created strength in people to heal themselves, or find a way. And Amma has only done it with LOVE. Anger has absolutely no place in Amma's life. Anger kills. Anger maims. And Amma has no place for these in Her heart or Her world.
This is yet again one of Amma's biggest teachings. When She leads without anger, who are we to carry it in our lives and our hearts? Why would we willingly destroy the soul? Isn't it better to reach every solution to this puzzle called life, with love, compassion and understanding? If we truly walked Amma's path, the world would suddenly cease to feel the strain. And we could all breathe easy. And Love. Like Amma would want us to.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
