A Guru like Amma!

488. Om damstrojjvalayai namah: I bow down to Amma who has shining tusks


Yet another day when the quest has been to discover my own journey and wonder how to find my spirituality quotient. And for the nth time, so grateful to have someone like Amma in my life. A Guru is the only way we remain grounded and refuse to succumb to the pain that life throws like confetti at us. A Guru like Amma is the only reason we an see the sunlight on days clouded with darkness. Amma is the only reason why we are able to see the wonder in most things and see life as a wonderful spiritual journey. May Amma always be my journey, my quest, my destination.
The following is Amma's advice to the residents in the tsunami hit are a in Japan:

Amma addressed the refugee residents, with the following words of inspiration, “You have just been through painful experiences, and you have yet to come out of that shock. The situation is such that no words can give you peace. Amma is here just to part take in the grief that you are going through. There are certain situations in life where you cannot do anything but accept. This is one of those situations. If you ask a musician where the music is coming from, he would say ‘its from my fingers, or from my throat, or from my heart’. If you operate the finger, the throat or the heart you will not find music. Actually music is coming from beyond. We have to understand the limitations of our actions, and the place of God’s Grace in our life. Keeping faith in that power, my children, pray for the Grace. Like any other decision, happiness is also a decision. Have a resolve, let any thing happen, I will be happy, I will be courageous. Without losing the self-confidence or faith in God, move forward”.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
