659. Om sarvadharayai namah: I bow down to Amma who is the support of all
Most times we forget the plot. That we're actually players on the same stage. That we're part of the same film. That we've all been written into the same script. We forget. And then arises all our negative tendencies of hatred, jealousy and anger. Even for people who follow Amma and are devotees of Amma, we falter every now and again. Our teacher's true teaching lies not in what Amma says but in what Amma does. She approaches everyone in a non judgmental way, full of love and affection. Similarly, we must also show love, understanding and compassion towards everyone. When we hate someone, all we a re doing is tainting our own hearts with the dirtiest colors. And when we have a powerful Guru like Amma at the helm, we must always keep our focus on the good in everyone and in everything around us:
Drawing a parallel between the recent Ebola epidemic and hatred, Amma said, “The Ebola virus that spread over parts of Africa has become a nightmare for the whole world. It has wiped out thousands of humans. But the virus of hatred is killing more than any epidemic. The antidote for hatred is within us – love and kindness”.
“Humanity is said to be blamed for the occurrence of natural calamities. And it is a warning to us for to make corrections. Conservation of nature is one of the most important issues to be taken care of. We should imbibe the spirit of conservation and the values of natural co-existence of ancient tribal peoples,” she added. “One of the major contributions of India to the world was the concept of the number ‘zero’. We should add something more with zero; zero poverty, zero waste, zero illiteracy and zero crime, and be a model to the whole world.”
Om Amriteswariye namah!
