686. Om rajya-vallabhayai namah: I bow down to Amma who protects all the dominions
Best moment of the day: when I was discussing my fear of flying with my daughter and she retorts back: "what do you have to fear? You have Amma. She's bigger than any army or any force. You have the best person on your side." Absolutely 100% true that!!
And here's an amazing quote by Amma on faith (for me, it touches upon fears also):
“It does not really matter whether you are a believer or a nonbeliever or a sceptic. You can be a nonbeliever, but at the same time lead a happy and successful life, if you have faith in you. You do not have to believe in Amma, or in a God who resides up above in the sky on a golden throne. It is enough if you have faith in yourself. If you don’t have faith in yourself, then there is not much to gain even if you believe in God. Faith in God is to strengthen your faith in you, the faith in your own Self. This is, in other words, called Self-confidence, confidence in your own Self. If that is not there you cannot succeed in life, whatever your field may be. Self-confidence is nothing but mental balance, courage and control over your own mind to confront the problems of life. You cannot escape from the problems of life; they are inevitable, unavoidable. How are you going to face them if you do not have faith in yourself? You cannot.”
