660. Om supratisthayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is firmly established.
Some words to live by, from Amma. Which means, I should be shortly going in for spring cleaning!
"Your altar is not just a place to keep pictures; it is a special place for your Lord to dwell. When you have this feeling, you can never be messy or unclean. Even if your house or your dwelling place is small, even if it is tiny, you should keep it clean. Try to make it serene like a temple. The surroundings should also be kept in the same way. Your room should be rearranged, reorganized, and kept clean in such a way that it should look like you are constantly waiting to welcome your Lord. The remembrance that ‘my Lord’ or ‘my mother’ can step in at any moment will certainly help you keep the room clean and tidy, for you will want to make it suitable for Him or Her to come in and be seated."
And this is an advice to really take to heart so that we never repeat our mistakes:
When you start brooding about the past, when you start criticizing and insulting others and blame them for the mishaps that happen in your own life, when you plan and dream about a future of promises and forget to live in the present, that is when the law of karma starts operating in you
Om Amriteswariye namah!
