183. Om nis-parigrahayai namah: I bow down to Amma who does not acquire or accept anything
I love this picture. It totally captures the essence of Amma. She is praying to the universe for Her children always. Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. May all beings in the world be happy!
This amazing Mother of ours does not want anything. She barely even attends to Her daily needs in terms of food or rest (we need not even mention sleep here!). Even on a flight between programs, Amma has devotees queueing up to get Her darshan. Even at airports, Amma is surrounded by devotees. Amma will even then distribute sweets to all those thronging around Her. What is this amazing mother all about?? She only gives, gives, gives. Of Herself. As much as She can. It's the only mantra of Her life. To make us happy. To give us everything we ever ask Her for. She is so true to us. I wonder how many of us are true to Her. I most certainly am not. If I were, would I ever so often forget Amma and allow fear or anger to take a hold of my life? When the very essence of Amma's teaching is love, why would I make place of even one negative moment in my life. Hiding behind the "I'm only human" apology is nonsense because Amma believes in us. She knows we are capable of walking the path and cleansing ourselves. She is leading the way. She who never takes anything from us only really wants us to cross that karmic bridge and safely reach the other side. But we stay selfish. Because it's easier to wallow in our vices.
Amma, You do not need to acquire or accept anything because You are the embodiment of every virtue. It is a difficult journey for us, Amma. Please grant us the much needed grace to walk this jungle and get to the clearing of no attachments!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
