The picture speaks!

419. Om jadatmikayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is in the form of the inanimate world


My Amma is so beautiful. To me some days it is enough to gaze at Her physical self and feel a deep sense of calm. I love the picture of Amma in the Singapore Ashram. Amma's eyes follow you around, as if gently mocking us for all our imagines worries and fears. As if gently nudging us to brew up more faith. As if gently reminding us that She is always there for us. Amma's pictures always speak out to us.  However inanimate the feel, Amma is totally living within them, watching over us from Her space. Sometimes when you feel that beautiful warm comfort wash over you while holding a picture of Amma to your heart, it is real because Amma is truly there. There is something so reassuring about glancing at Her picture when feeling a sense of anxiety. Or even just touching it gently for reassurance. Some days I wonder if Amma can even see me. But some days the sense of calm is tremendous. And I would scarce think it has anything to do with me! It's just that I am finally feeling the soul behind a supposedly inanimate picture.

Om Amriteswariye namah!
