596. Om ravi-prakhyayai namah: I bow down to Amma who shines with the special brilliance of the sun
When we take our secrets and concerns to Amma, we wonder if anything might happen. Has Amma heard me? Will She remember to take care? Will She take note of my distress? Just as I would take a bullet for my child, so also, Amma would do anything for us, Her children. Our Guru is someone extremely special in oru lives, who shines with the special brilliance of the sun. In Amma's own words:
‘Children, we can grow spiritually only if we see the Guru as the manifestation of God. We should not accept anyone as Guru before we are fully convinced personally that He is authentic and truthful. Once we choose someone as Guru, we should surrender completely to Him. Only then will spiritual development be possible. Devotion to the Guru means total surrender to him.’
‘The Guru is not someone who is confined to the body. When there is selfless love for the Guru, we will be able to see Him not only in His body but in every living and nonliving thing in this world. Learn to see everything as the Guru’s body and to serve them accordingly.’
Om Amriteswariye namah!
