673. Om brhatyai namah: I bow down to Amma who is immense
It's been one of those days when I've had to look heavenwards several times. And each time I know I'm asking, questioning. And therefore, when I read this, it made perfect sense. Like it was almost written for me!
"A true devotee completely surrenders to God. He longs for God to kill his ego. That he will not be able to surrender to God or that God won’t destroy his ego is a true seeker’s greatest fear. Look at the fierce form of Kali. Kali is the destroyer of the ego. Because a true seeker wants to be free from the ego, he will love this aspect of the Divine mother. Surrendering to Kali or to what she represents, a true devotee will happily offer his head to Her in order to add one more bead to Kali’s garland of skulls.": AMMA
Am I ready to surrender my ego? Am I ready to allow my head to be part of Kali's garland? I always pray to Amma to kill my ego but I always wonder if I'm ready for it. And perhaps that's why Amma sends so many lessons my way. Hopefully each lesson will take me higher up the spiritual ladder. And help me strengthen my resolve to become a better person. Like Amma would want me to be.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
