638. Om svarna-garbhayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the cause of the Universe.
I finally found a picture that I think does justice to Amma's beauty, divinity and love for all of humanity. Look at the innocence and purity reflected in Amma! Imagine if we could have just a hundredth of that purity, how wonderful the world would be. We'd be egoless beings, genuinely helpful and with no hidden agendas. All we'd do is spread the love to each other. We'd be able to see beyond ourselves and feel the plight of others. We'd be able to reach out selflessly. And living only in the present, as Amma does, we'd be able to live every moment without anger, fear or rancour. How perfect would our lives be. And we'd be happier than we currently are. Sometimes I do wonder about the thoughts I have, tinged either with fear, worry, jealousy or irritation. In each of these, our ego plays such a pivotal role. But if only we could understand our true insignificance, how much easier life would become. We assume that when we say something, the world stops to listen. We assume that when we are angry, the universe will take notice. Or that our breath keeps the world going. We are but slight players in the larger canvas. And once we understand that our true will is to do good and then move on, life would shed itself of worry, fear, anger, meanness. Distilled down, it would just be pure love, Amma-consciousness. The state we all want to be in but refuse to go towards willingly. Amma, please give us the discrimination to do so, under Your constant guidance and care.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
