I saw this lovely post on Facebook, with a quote from Amma:
"When we take prasad from the temple, we never complain that it is too salty or too sweet. Seeing it as a gift from God, we cherish and accept it, whatever it may be. Seeing this entire world as a temple and all your actions as worship, try to develop this same attitude with regards to everything that comes to you in life. Be it success or failure, criticism or praise, accept everything as God's gift and be happy and peaceful." - Amma
I know trials really upset me, Amma. I know that anything that sets me out of the usual road has me worried with a feeling of deep unease. I need this quote. I should learn to accept absolutely everything that comes my way as prasad from Amma. When we accept this, we realise that life's grand plans have all been etched in our destiny only by Amma. Would a Mother who is the purest form of love; who is filled with the essence of love ever hurt us? Would She ever have anything but the best in mind for us? We have to keep the faith. Do we trust Amma? Absolutely! Then why not just accept everything She sends our way, as a special gift for our growth?
Om Amriteswariye namah!
