630. Om tryaksaryai namah: I bow down to Amma whose form consists of three letters or syllables.

I can't believe it's been nearly a week since Amma left! Last week this time, we were super excited. It was the second day of Amma's programme and we were basking in the warmth of Her love. The real test for us is to keep the faith going when Amma isn't physically in our presence. We all absolutely love and adore Her but the unhindered way in which we express our love for Her when in Her presence, is beautiful and sadly different from when Amma isn't in front of us. When not physically (how limiting this word is actually, when it comes to Amma!) in Amma's presence, we throw in small seeds of doubt: 'Does Amma know of my predicament? Please can She be listening?' The correct answer of course would be that Amma is always with us. She's really just one prayer away from us. Call out to Amma in earnestness and She will be there. I'm petrified of flying and so always imagine Amma sitting in the next seat, holding my hands. It's the only way I can fly. I'm trying to now imagine Amma in every segment of my life, exactly like this. Holding my hand, helping me through life. I'm an unlearned child, Amma. What do I know about traversing the many paths that just show up? Help me make decisions, Amma. Please help me manoeuvre through life making correct choices. Let every word I speak be Your choice for me. Let every word I hear be what You wish me to hear. Let every thought I think be what You have wanted me to think. Let every action be my dedication to You. Thought, actions, words, feelings. Let them all just be my wrapping on the gift of gratitude for this life, Amma!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
