619. Om pavanakrtaye namah: I bow down to Amma who is of sacred form
It's almost uplifting when I see that unless and until my daughter prays to Amma, she doesn't feel right about starting her day. Or boarding a flight. Or leaving for school. To me, that is real prayer. Real devotion. She doesn't need to spend hours with her arms folded. All she needs to do is imprint the very thought of Amma in the very fabric of her being. Once we do that, we're already praying every second to Amma. Once we do that. we're already keeping Amma in our mind all the time. Can there be a better way to live our lives? Can there be a better show of gratitude to our Master who has given us this gift of life? When everything is ephemeral, the only constant is Amma. And may Amma always stay as our life breath in us.
‘Many of us may have watched the waves at sea. They rise, then fall, then rise again, then fall again… and this cycle continues endlessly. It is the same with our experience of the world and its objects and relationships. We may find happiness, but this happiness will soon turn to sorrow. The sorrow that we feel will subsequently turn back to happiness but this oscillation continues endlessly. In order to maintain inner balance, we need to find peace within instead of depending on the external world.’: AMMA
Om Amriteswariye namah!
