Amma's little tests!

498. Om damaryadibhir-avrtayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is surrounded by Damari and other attending deities.





Problems. Amma's way of checking up on how much we trust Her and how much we are using the skills given to us by Her. Of course when we're faced with problems, myriad or otherwise, the first impulse is to run. A wise person once said, God helps those who help themselves. Amma equips us to face problems but we often find it difficult to. We lean so heavily on Amma that when She sends Her little tests our way, it becomes so tough to pull our act together and face up to it. We crumble. We shrink. Tears we thought had dried up resurface. The challenge begins again. Some days, the effort to just sit up and look for the sun seems so much. Some days, things get easier and the prayers that escape our lips are: "I can just hope and pray that Amma makes it all easy. You know my limitations, Amma. Please don't test me so. This is really all I can take." That's the time we need to feel the unseen hand of Amma guiding us so closely. That's when we really need to take that leap of faith and trust ENTIRELY in Her design for us. Amma has a plan. And She knows it will work!

Om Amriteswariye namah!
