175. Om bhava-nasinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who destroys the sorrow of samsara (the cycle of birth and death)
This cycle of birth, death, birth, death...it is what causes a lot of suffering in us. The bhavanasini river cleanses. Those who bathe in it are not reborn. This life has been given to us by Amma. We are in this world for a purpose. The larger purpose is of course to understand and love each other and progress humanity but each of us has a specific purpose too. Whatever that may be. And as our spiritual path cleanses, the purpose reveals itself. And it will always be for the good of people around us.
Once this purpose is done and when death claims us, we should not seek to be reborn. Let go of this life as best as we can because in another life, the search for the purpose will start all over again. And if it is this one birth, then let us make it the best life we lead. Love with as much purity as we can. Reach out to as many people as we can. Spread the net of compassion and speak the words of gratitude to the universe as often as we can. Amma lives each moment to the fullest. Each second of each minute is spent consoling, calming and spreading love. In making the lives of everyone around Her, so blessed! That's what we should look to create. A beautiful world wherever we go. Have the ability to only speak the nicest words. Have the grace to show only the nicest gestures and do only the most heartwarming actions. These aren't easy by any stretch. Doing good and being good needs one to keep that ego aside and allow our real nature to blossom. And as we work on such principles, the universe will conspire to make this one life the best it is. It already is, isn't it? For it is here that we have met the most gorgeous mother of the world: Amma!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
