Something to soothe the soul...

589. Om kama-kotikayai namah: I bow down to Amma of whom Kama (Shiva) is a part or an approximate form.


Because I need these quotes from Amma for myself:

"Once you accept a perfect Soul as your Guru, stop wandering, both mentally and physically. Stay with the Guru; surrender to Him or Her. That is it. Cast off all worries and unnecessary brooding over incidents and experiences of the past, and mentally and physically travel towards Him, toward His real Being. This is the real journey."

"Declare an open war with your mind. The mind might pull you and push you into the same old habits. Understand that it is only a trick of the greatest trickster, the mind, to divert you from the path. Do not give up. There will come a point when the vasanas will lose all their strength and give way for the Lord to come in and rule. Till then try and keep trying. Let the failures “fail” to stop you from continuing your practice."

"Worrying is not a solution to any problem; it will only make things worse. Discriminative thinking is the only way to overcome life's problems. When we worry, our power of discrimination becomes weak, and then even insignificant problems seem overwhelming."

Om Amriteswariye namah!
