Amma never, ever professes to be the Goddess of the universe or the Master. In fact, She considers Herself a servant who is fulfilling our wishes. Amma's humility is one of the most endearing things about Her. She dismisses Herself as just an ordinary person. Truth is, there is nothing ordinary about Amma. From Her wondrous countenance to Her extraordinary capacity for love, Amma is the universe's way of telling us is that however bleak the horizon may look from afar, the journey with Amma will create a rainbow along the way. Amma's all encompassing compassion will protect us in every way. There are twists and turns in our lives when absolutely nothing seems right. We can barely see beyond our problems and it all seems like an unending mountain to climb. Amma always advises us to surrender our problems to Her. My friend Joyotee advised me just that (like I said yesterday, Amma comes to us in many ways!) My friend said that all I needed to do was tell Amma that She would need to handle the problem as it was beyond me. And then to ride with the faith that truly, Amma would. Within this binding faith lies our Guru's grace. The day we are able to reflect this unquestioning faith, Amma's grace will naturally flow to us. May we find the strength to live on this faith and finally grow in the grace.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
