When we become Amma's devotees, there is no initiation into an order. Nor is there any ceremony that takes place. It happens silently, quietly. We stand in a long queue, wait for hours and then get a hug that lasts us just enough to wrap us in the deepest cocoon of compassion we have ever felt. That's the initiation and the ceremony right there. And then, we're hooked. We're Amma's devotees for life. Amma has taken us as Her child and will always stand by us. She will ensure that we are taken care of and protected. Every step of our way has to be a surrender to Her. Every action of ours has to be an offering to Her. If we remember Amma at every turn in our life, then this all pervading Mother of ours will pervade our lives and give it so much meaning, so much love. Amma is the life breath of this universe. Even a leaf moves only as instructed by Amma. And to such a Mother, we surrender every thought, every breath.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
