648. Om lila-klrpta-brahmanda-mandalayai namah: I bow down to Amma who has created and maintained the universe purely as a sport
It's been a day where I've really had to hold on to my faith. But I know that just around the corner, Amma is watching, looking out for me!
Many are interested in spirituality, but only a few will ‘make the grade,’ so to speak. Merely being interested is not sufficient. Intensity is what is needed. It is not the Guru’s fault. A Satguru cannot be wrong. He can only be right. You are wrong. We are like a musical instrument that is off-key. The Guru wants to repair the keys that are off. But if you protest, if you strongly feel you are all right, if you think there is no problem with you, that the ‘off key’ is all right because you don’t hear it as being ‘off,’ then what can the Guru do? In order to make the keys sound more pleasant to the ears, a little scratching, scrubbing, scraping and removing is needed. You should be able to bear the pain caused by this, understanding its purpose is to make your life harmonious, as in a musical concert.
There's always a reason...always! May we always have the ability to keep that faith, through every valley and mountain, through every path we take. Because, truly, Amma is always with us, holding our hands and guiding us along.
Om Amriteswariye namah!
