Beautiful excerpts from the book Torrential Love by Swamini Krishnamrita Prana:
'Sometimes I go about pitying myself
And all the while I'm being carried
across the sky by beautiful clouds'
Native American Saying
"The faith that Amma inspires in us can help us to overcome what may otherwise seem to be insurmountable obstacles. ...When we approach the Guru with innocence, sincerity and openness, we will get some directions that shall guide us on the right path, even if we make a mistake along the way. This attitude of innocence also helps us to attain an element of deep peace and satisfaction in our lives....Some people lose their devotion when they meet with difficulties. That kind of faith is not for the sake of devotion but is based on some kind of expectation. True faith needs to be steadfast and unwavering. Only with this kind of faith can we grow spiritually....When we have strong faith, it cannot be shaken. Our faith helps us to face hard times as well as times when all is going smoothly. If our faith can be shaken, then it was not real faith after all."
I needed this today.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
