682. Om subha-karyai namah: I bow down to Amma who does good.
Some days it is too over whelming to write one's own thoughts, Some days my relationship with Amma is too personal to pen. It's such a deep bond that I find it almost painful to share. So instead, I will put down some quotes by Amma.
"Children, spirituality is nothing but giving up and then taking back. Spirituality is to unburden everything and then take the burden back. But this time the burden is no more a burden. To put it in another way: don’t take up the burden until you feel that it is weightless. Yes, when you have completely emptied yourself of the inner burden, you take it back—you carry the burden of the world. But now you won’t feel any heaviness. On the contrary, you will feel a tremendous amount of joy springing forth from deep within, even while carrying the burden of the world. Previously, it was real suffering, but now there is no suffering at all, because your mind is fully at rest, and therefore, you do not feel it to be a burden anymore. Even though you still perform actions, you are involved and at the same time not involved. You start seeing things from an entirely different angle. You play a role, but you never identify with it. You remain outside. No matter what you are doing, you always feel blissful."
Om Amriteswariye namah!
