570. Om maitryadi-vasana-labhyayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is to be attained by love and, other good dispositions
Is there any other way to attain Amma but to keep our hearts absolutely clean so that we can welcome Her inside of it? Amma Herself says that our hearts are like temples where we are meant to seat God. That's Amma's way of saying that God lives within us and that we are all divine beings. In fact Amma says: "The love of awakened motherhood is a love and compassion felt not only towards one’s own children, but towards all people, animals and plants, rocks and rivers—a love extended to all of nature, to all beings. Indeed, to a woman in whom the state of true motherhood has awakened, all creatures are her children." A divinity works within everything in the world and therefore we absolutely must learn to show respect all around. Just as we expect to be treated with respect, so also must we respect everything and everyone around us. That in itself will lead to the good disposition required to attain the grace of a mahatma like Amma.
Om Amriyeswariye namah!
