A beautiful talk by Swami Paramatmananda on Amma and the spiritual quest and the journey to remain strong. Please listen to it here!
"Self realization isn't realizing the self. Instead, it is losing the small self and realizing the true self." In this talk, Swamiji says Amma doesn't want spiritual aspirants to crumble under their own pressures but instead to always remain strong. Strength, to me, is synonymous with faith. We can only be strong when we cloak ourselves in unshakeable faith in Amma. When Amma is always besides us, why fear ??? Who possibly can ever harm us when Amma is definitely walking besides us? If we falter, it isn't because Amma has deserted us but purely because we feel the absence of Amma because we have strayed away from Her. May we always have the strength to stay by Amma's side because even this, despite all our deep love for Her, is no mean feat. It takes a lot for us to stay true Amma devotees. Let it happen Amma! Please accept this as our humble prayer and request!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
