238. Om manu-vidyayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the embodiment of Manuvidya
Amma, why is there so much negativity in this world? Why do we surround ourselves with so much baggage? Why do we carry so many burdens ? Why is our ego so large...so large, our body can't even begin to think of carrying it! If we knew how soon everything can stop, we would never ride such a large ego wave. If we realized that even the next breath isn't a certainty, we would stop assuming a certain level of immortality. There are disasters all around us. We're still reeling under the mystery of the missing plane. 239 passengers with not a clue what the future held for them. We still don;t know. But that is pretty much the blue print of most of our lives, isn't it? We never know for sure what the next breath holds for us.
The only certainty in life is Amma. For me, I know She's the best thought I can have when I go to sleep. She's the best word I can say when I wake up. She's the best image I can remember each time I feel sad or happy. She is the ultimate relief for a weary mind. She is the best prayer I can ever chant. She is the best life lesson I can ever learn.
Om Amriteswariye Namah!
