650. Om drsya-rahitayai namah: I bow down to Amma who has nothing to see
Look at this picture! I need not write a word because this picture is enough. We're each of us that little child looking up at our beloved Mother. Look at Amma's expression. Absolutely pure love, affection, compassion. It's now officially my favourite picture in the world! This picture encapsulates everything we feel towards Amma but sometimes fall short of words to describe!
Attachment to the Guru makes one detached from all worldly concerns and worries. It helps the spiritual seeker forget about the world and concentrate on God. The spiritual progress of a disciple or a devotee depends on the intensity of his or her remembrance of his Guru or God, which is also meditation; and this will culminate in total Oneness.
For a person who is established in God, all that happens around him is a play. The whole world is a play. All abuses, criticisms, insults, hatred and anger showered on him return unaccepted to those from whom they came. Whatever is not accepted is returned to the giver. Or another way of putting it is that a Realized Soul accepts everything. He accepts things, but they cannot remain with him. He is like a doorway; things just pass through him. Nothing can remain with him. Or you can say that he is like fire. What is thrown in the fire gets consumed by the flames and disappears.
A thousand pranams to Amma who I adore!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
