658. Om iccha-sakti-jnana-sakti-kriya-sakti-svarupinyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is in the form of the powers of will, knowledge and action
Reminiscing the time Amma came here for Her Singapore programme. The absolute blissful 3 days of immersing oneself totally in Amma consciousness and enjoying every moment of being in Amma's presence. And after She left, it seemed to be ok for a few days. And then once again, the pall of everyday activities settles on me...and I ache to be in Amma's presence again. Not too far away though because I will have the good fortune of seeing Her again very soon! This time around I will just sit and pray and meditate on Her form. This time around I will plan what to say to Amma very carefully. I will hope that I do not get tongue tied! I will hope to soak in memories much better so that they can last me longer! And until then, I will ponder and meditate on Her everlasting words:
Those children who receive a mantra from Amma should lead a disciplined and orderly way of life. They should give up bad habits such as drugs, smoking and drinking. They should observe celibacy until marriage. Even after marriage, they should follow Amma’s advice in living together. Children, we should disclose everything to our guru and hold back no secret from Him. The disciple must have the same love and attachment for the guru that a child has for its mother. Then only can we have spiritual growth. Japa and meditation should be practiced daily without fail. Only by putting our mantra into regular practice can we benefit from it. Book knowledge of agriculture is not enough; we have to apply it to get good crops.’ (Immortal Light)
‘To Amma, all are Her children. In Amma’s eyes no defect of Her children is serious. But when She is considered as the guru, it is essential for the growth of the disciples that they conduct themselves according to the tradition. Amma will pardon all the mistakes of Her children, but nature has certain laws. That is what brings punishment for our sins. Children, we should be able to take any sorrow or suffering as conducive for our growth.’ (Immortal Light)
Om Amriteswariye namah!
