Thank You Amma! I took one small step towards You and You took so many steps towards me. What a beautiful gift You have given me. And what you've given me even bigger than that is the lesson that optimistic faith is the right road always. You will always be my beacon, guiding me ahead. I have so many routes to traverse and I know in each of them there will be many ups and downs. I will walk each route safe in the knowledge that You are guiding me and leading me by the hand. You have smiled upon me and I know I am taken care of. Thank You, Amma!
'Don't forget God for even a second. If we lose our money while traveling, think how frantically we search for it! In the same way, if we are unable to do japa even for a brief moment, we should grieve: "Alas, Lord, I have lost so much time! " If there is such anguish, even the time we spend sleeping will not be wasted. Children, even if we lose a million dollars, we can recover it. If we lose one second, we cannot get it back. Every moment that we are not remembering God is lost to us. Chanting replaces other thoughts with that particular mantra. Just as saline water loses its salty taste by constantly adding fresh water, through constant repetition of a mantra, the number of thoughts can be reduced. In due course, all thoughts can be eliminated excepts one, that is God. Love will spring through japa if one has complete faith and intent to reach the goal. Mantra japa, done with the proper understanding of this principle will ultimately take us to the Source. At this point, the seeker realizes that the form he has been meditating on, as well as all other forms that exist within himself, are the manifestations of the Self.': AMMA
May we spend all our life lost in the realms of Amma-consciousness.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
