258. Om svapantyai namah: I bow down to Amma who assumes the form of the jiva in the dream state
One day when I sit down somewhere and look back on my life, I know the defining moment of all things to come would have been the day my father decided to take us all to Vallickavu to meet this Guru he had heard of. Amma. After that, even though the journey has been slow and my faith has every once in a while been shaken, I know I am under Amma's umbrella of protection. Not even an umbrella, but Her canopy of grace. Whether it is in the waking or dream state, Amma is always there for each of us who believes in Her and has the faith in Her. "Viswasam tannenne rakshikyu". It is faith that will save us. That will help us cross the many difficult bridges we so often encounter. That will make us realise the folly of our ways and correct it. It is faith that will make us look at experiences as the road we have taken for the betterment of our future. Amma has Her own methods. And one of them is to put us on paths that will cleanse us. Acknowledging that, is the first step towards faith. May Amma shower me with the grace to realise this wonderful truth!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
